At our sailing club in Key Largo we have series racing Thursdays and Saturdays with our Waves. For this current year we have committed to devoting one of our racing days each month to taking out youth sailors on our boats -- one youth per boat, with adult aboard, and putting the kids on the helm (maybe three races each day). It will be a separate series for the youth.

I will let you know whether this experiment works. Of course, Rick and I will be up in Ohio for the summer, so maybe we can try this same thing at our club at Put-in-Bay.

We have to start somewhere.
