Junior Training For Young Sailors

Posted

Summer will be here sooner than you think. If you’re looking for an opportunity for your children to learn lifelong water safety skills, teamwork, and a new sport, look no further than the Junior Training sailing program offered by the Magothy River Sailing Association, or MRSA.

MRSA has operated its Junior Training program since the 1980s, making it one of the longest running in the area. The program has trained hundreds of young people in the art of sailing.

The MRSA Junior Training program is held during two weeks over the summer for children and young adults, ages 9 to 17, beginners or experienced, with classroom and on-the-water training supervised by MRSA instructors and the parents or relatives of the trainees. The program is held in the Pasadena area, and for most of the last 20 years, it has been held at the Grachur Club with the MRSA fleet of prams and day sailors setting sail from and returning to the beach at the Grachur Club.

Sailing is a great way to move from the virtual reality of mental challenges to the real-life physical and mental challenges offered by sailing. Fresh air, sunshine, and the wonders of nature await as participants harness the winds to propel themselves over the Magothy waters.

Registration begins March 1. Additional information can be found on the MRSA Junior Training website page: www.magothysailing.org/junior-training. Contact MRSA’s 2023 commodore, Ed Tracey, at commodore@magothysailing.org for more information. The registration fee is discounted for MRSA members.
