Session 2 Successes

Hello Parents and Sailing 101 Students,


This morning kicked off Session 2 of KSEA sailing and we had a wonderful day out on the water. Our 420 Race Team left bright and early for Boothbay Harbor, where they will be participating in a clinic lead by Frank Pizzo, Bowdoin College Head Coach, and Delany Brown, MMA Dinghy Coach, today, followed by two days of racing on July 9th and 10th. You can follow along and check scores out here.

The front half of this week looks like beautiful weather and perfect sailing conditions. Rain is forecasted for Thursday and possibly Friday. We will still be holding classes on rainy days. Send your sailor with a rain jacket and an extra change of clothes. We’ll sail if possible, and will learn and play on land if not.

We will have a movie night on July 12th from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Sailors are invited to join us at the KYC clubhouse for a G-rated movie night. Bring popcorn or a dessert to share potluck style. Parents are welcome to come and mingle, or are free to drop their kids off and have a night out to themselves. Please note, siblings who are not enrolled in KSEA classes are invited to join us while their parents are on-site. Otherwise, attendance is limited to sailors enrolled in a KESA class for the present session. 

Sign up to bring a potluck item on the SignUpGenius.
