It's Saturday March 13, 2010
Making the Youth Sailing Program happen in Oriental has been an effort between local businesses and volunteers. It could not have happened without all of the support the community has given, and we greatly appreciate all of the help.
We are currently looking for 2010 sponsors to help provide scholarships, new/used boats (especially sunfish, 420s, JY15s or the like), and equipment, as well as volunteers to give their time to repair boats, teach sailing, office assistance, and help improve our new facilities. We have Opti and Sunfish sails that are available for sponsors or if you would like to sponsor a different boat or volunteer, please Contact Us
