Program Description 

This program is designed for ILCA 4, ILCA 6 and Club 420 sailors as an intermediate level clinic focused on enhancing a participant's racing skills in amateur youth sailing competition. It is open to all youth sailors in the Southern NJ community entering 8th  to 12th grade. In the event the clinic is overbooked, registration priority will go to  MAYRA members. Basic boat handling experience is required and determined by the  participant. 

Clinic will be facilitated by James Golden, former member of the United States Sailing  Team. James is an elite-level competitor, representing the US at three World Championships and multiple Continental Championships. He was on the Olympic Development team for four year and was the Top American in the 2024 Oceania and Australian ILCA Open and Youth Championship.
