Young Sailors’ Invitation Race: Sunday, 9 <strong>June</strong><br />
Historically <strong>the</strong> ABC’s summer series of cruiser races has<br />
been a more relaxed, less competitive series of races in <strong>the</strong><br />
ABC sailing calendar. During <strong>the</strong> summer series, boats often<br />
include non-regular sailors on <strong>the</strong> crew to give <strong>the</strong>m a taste of<br />
ABC cruising and races.<br />
In light of constructive comments at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s AGM to<br />
seek to get more of our young sailors onto cruisers, <strong>the</strong> Sailing<br />
Committee has nominated <strong>the</strong> first summer series race, set<br />
for Sunday, 9 <strong>June</strong>, as a “young sailors’ invitation race.”<br />
Skippers will, of course, have <strong>the</strong> ultimate say (depending<br />
on wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions, crew’s experience, etc.) on who sails<br />
with <strong>the</strong>m, but we hope <strong>the</strong> experience will whet appetites for<br />
cruiser sailing and increase <strong>the</strong> pool of potential cruiser sailors<br />
for <strong>the</strong> future.<br />
If you are ei<strong>the</strong>r a cruiser owner or a young sailor (minimum<br />
14 years old) and would like to participate in this initiative,<br />
