Youth sailing participants sought for team

Tue, 02/26/2019 - 10:15am

All high school and middle school students of the Boothbay, Wiscasset and Damariscotta regions are invited to participate in the exciting high school sport of sailing.

Our spring season begins on Monday, March 18. We practice Mondays through Thursdays from 3:30-6:15 p.m. and regattas are held on weekends.

The Boothbay Region Sailing Club is an officially sanctioned competitive sailing team which sails in high school level regattas throughout the Midcoast region and beyond. We serve as the team for all local public and private high schools and middle schools in the area. Sailors of all levels are welcome. All boats and cold-weather dry apparel is provided free of charge by the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club. Sailors need only provide their own lifejackets and warm gloves, as well as optional booties, if desired. Cost is $300/sailor, but full and partial scholarships are available. We do not want cost to be a detriment to participation!

All interested in joining the team and/or scholarships, email Chris Liberti at libertichris@gmail.com. We hope to see you Monday, March 18 at 3:30 at the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club for practice.
