learned to race in Vanguard 15s in 1996 and has gone on to sail
numerous dinghies and keelboats. After participating in the junior
sailing program at CPYC for 9 years, she coached at Norwalk YC for 3
years, followed by a year as head instructor. She attended the
University of Virginia and graduated in 2012 with a degree in
Environmental Sciences. Throughout her 4 years in Charlottesville, VA,
she raced with the school's sailing team and had the opportunity to study abroad in Sydney,
Australia where she enjoyed many more sailing opportunities. After finishing school, she spent
another summer sailing on Long Island Sound as a member of the Sapling program at the
Oakcliff Sailing Center, where she remains heavily involved with women's and coed match
racing. Over the past seven years, Madeline has gained experience in many aspects of the
sailing industry, such as coaching, program planning, and event media reporting. She is looking
forward to using her diverse background to work with the Seawanhaka Junior Program this
summer.

at a young age. He competed nationally and abroad in the Optimist until he
was 15. In 420s, Brady found success as both skipper and crew. He was a
member of the US 420 Development Team and competed at a World
championship as a skipper. In college, Brady sailed for Old Dominion
University. Most recently, he worked at Bellport Bay Yacht Club. Brady is
excited to be joining the Seawanhaka team this summer!
Catalina Feder
Catalina was first introduced to sailing as infant cruising on throughout the
North East on her family’s 38-foot yawl. Later, she began her racing career
competing with junior sailing programs across Long Island Sound. Two
summers ago, Catalina jumpstarted her keelboat-racing career at Oakcliff
Sailing Center in Oyster Bay, where she was first introduced to match
Page 4 of 39

cannot get enough. Catalina has competed locally, nationally, and abroad. Catalina is very
excited share her passion and knowledge of sailing as an instructor this summer at
Seawanhaka.

Drop-off and Pick-up Times
All Junior Sailing programs run Monday through Friday from 10:30 AM-5:45 PM. Sailors should
be at the club no later than 10:30 AM. Drop-off earlier than 10:15 AM may result in no
supervision by Junior Club staff.
Our program starts promptly at 10:30 AM. Late arrivals are very disruptive and unfair to the
coaches and other sailors. Please refer to the Safety Information excerpt below for how to deal
with tardiness and absences:
“If you are aware of scheduling conflicts, please email [email protected] well in advance to
notify the Program Director. If there is an unforeseen issue and you will be late or absent, please call the
Junior Club at (516) 922-6200 ext. 117 and make sure to speak with the Program Director or an instructor.
Leaving voicemails can be unreliable.”
Our program ends at 5:45 PM. Sailors must be picked up at that time. There is no
supervision for your child after 5:45 PM. SCJYC staff is not responsible for the safety of your
children after this time.
Launch Service
Launch service will be available for juniors enrolled in the sailing program Monday through
Friday. Sailors will be picked up at the Oyster Bay Marine Center (OBMC) promptly at 10 AM
for transport to SCJYC and dropped off in the afternoons at 6 PM. A parent or guardian must
be present to pick up sailors from the launch drop-off.
Lunch
Lunch will be provided to all participants in the Junior Club and Camp. Daily lunch is included in
the cost of the program. Please notify the Program Director of any allergies or dietary
restrictions. Should a sailor have special dietary needs, he/she may also bring lunch from
home; however, the program fee will not be adjusted.

Safety Information
Safety is our top priority at the Seawanhaka Corinthian Junior Yacht Club. All Directors and
Sailing Instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, Powerboat Operation, and Dinghy Sailing
Instruction. Junior members are closely supervised and all staff members are trained in
emergency procedures. Sailors must be competent swimmers and must pass a swim check
administered off the SCJYC dock on or before the first day of sailing class.
We recognize that our location and environment come with certain risks that we will minimize
as much as possible. In order for us to ensure the safest environment for your children, we ask
you to adhere to the following guidelines:







Pick-up and drop-off times are set for each class/program. If you are aware of
scheduling conflicts, please email [email protected] well in advance to notify
the Program Director. If there is an unforeseen issue and you will be late or absent,
please call the Junior Club at (516) 922-6200 ext. 117 and make sure to speak with the
Program Director or an instructor. Leaving voicemails can be unreliable.
Junior sailors must be wearing a PFD whenever they are near the water.
Every student will be required to pass a swim check. This will consist of jumping into the
water wearing a PFD, swimming out about 15 yards and back, taking off their PFD (on
their own, in the water), treading water for three minutes, and putting their PFD back
on (on their own, in the water).
Junior sailors are required to wear closed-toe shoes to class. Beaches, docks, and gravel
present numerous opportunities for splinters, cuts, etc. Wearing sandals or going
barefoot can be dangerous.
Protect your child from the sun. Please send them to class with sunglasses, a hat, and
make sure they apply waterproof sunscreen before class starts.
Dehydration is a serious concern and it is easy to forget to drink enough water. Please
make sure your child comes to class with a refillable water bottle. There will be
opportunities to refill them throughout the day.
Drive slowly when you are near the Junior Club. It can be hard to see children and
equipment if you are speeding or distracted behind the wheel.

Junior Sailing Program Offerings
Beginner Optimist (Ages 8-12)
The Beginner Optimist program is designed for younger sailors with little or no sailing experience. Sailors will learn
basic seamanship, develop self-confidence, foster respect for the marine environment, and practice teamwork
skills. The priority of the Beginner Optimist program is to promote sailing skill development in a safe and fun
environment.
Intermediate Optimist (Ages 8-15)
The Intermediate Optimist class will build on the foundation of sailing skills, while introducing more advanced boat
handling techniques, tuning, and basic racing skills. Intermediate sailors who wish to gain racing experience will
have the opportunity to attend regattas.
Optimist Race Team (Ages 8-15)
Optimist Race Team sailors may participate in this intensive program for those who wish to expand their racing
skills and gain a competitive advantage. The Optimist Race Team will allow pa rticipants to race in both JSA and
regional USODA regattas.
Pixel Sailing (Ages 10-15)
The Pixel Sailing class provides sailors with an introduction to double-handed sailing. Pixel Sailing is appropriate for
older beginner sailors as well as intermediate and advanced racers who have outgrown the Optimist. The Pixel is
sailed by a crew of two or three; crews of two must make a combined weight of 200 lbs. Private ownership is
encouraged for those who want to gain a competitive advantage.
Laser Sailing (Ages 14-18)
Lasers are the essential single-handed dinghy, as they provide a one-design, technical learning platform in an easyto-maneuver boat. Participants in the Laser Sailing program will learn advanced boat handling, performance
tuning, and advanced racing skills. The Laser Radial is an appropriate choice for smaller sailors, with a minimum
weight of 110 lbs.; the Laser Standard has a minimum weight of 130 lbs. Club-owned Lasers are available for a fee.
Club 420 Sailing (Ages 14-18)
Participants in the Club 420 Sailing class will develop the ability to sail a double-handed dinghy and build on skills
learned in the Pixel class. C420s must be sailed with two people who reach a combined minimum weight of 220
lbs. Participants in the C420 class will learn advanced boat handling, performance tuning, and advanced racing
skills. Club-owned C420s are available for a fee.
Page 22 of 39
Team Racing Program (Ages 14-18)
The Team Racing Program is for sailors interested in learning to team race in double-handed dinghies and small
keelboats. In addition to each sailor’s normal class, there will be practices leading up to the McIntyre Team Racing
Clinic and Regatta.
Keelboat Racing Program (Ages 14-18)
The Keelboat Racing Program is for sailors interested in racing larger keelboats and working with larger teams. In
addition to each sailor’s normal class, there will be practices leading up to the Dorade Regatta and Junior
Overnight Regatta. Also required for the Keelboat Racing Program is participation in a navigation class to prepare
for the JSA Navigation Test.
All ages above are JSA ages, which refer to the age a sailor will be on December 31, 2014.

About the Boat
“Originally designed in 1947, the Optimist Dinghy has become the world standard as both the
introductory junior trainer and a premier one design racing class. It is the only sailboat
designed specifically for children allowing them to learn the essentials of sailing without dang er
or fear. It is also the biggest and fastest growing racing class in the world with over 300,000
hulls built worldwide. “

About the Boat
“As a fun, fast boat that has the best that modern technology and design can offer, the Pixel
appeals to a wide range of sailors. The stable, self-bailing open cockpit is comfortable and easy
to move around in, keeping sailors feeling safe and in control. The epoxy hull is both lighter and
stronger than traditional polyester fiberglass, giving better performance and greater longevity.
The carbon fiber mast means lighter weight aloft for better performance without reducing sail
area. It also makes it easier for smaller sailors to rig and de-rig. Whether a “seasoned salt”,
beginning sailor or somewhere in between, the Pixel has something to offer everyone.“

About the Boat
“The world’s premier racing dinghy. The Laser was designed in 1969 and quickly revolutionized
the racing world with its speed and simplicity. Today this timeless design is by far the most
popular adult and youth racing boat worldwide. It is raced by many of the world’s top sailors
and has been an Olympic class since 1996. The Laser’s full -size rig rewards athleticism and is
best for heavier, more experienced sailors, but it can easily be converted to a Radial or 4.7 by
changing just the sail and bottom spar. “
-LaserPerformance
“The most popular mid-size singlehander. The Laser Radial rig was designed to make the Laser
less overpowering for lighter sailors. It uses a smaller radial-cut sail and a shorter, bendier
bottom spar that makes the boat easier to race for small adults, women and youth. The rest of
its equipment is exactly the same as the full-rig Laser and 4.7. The Radial has a full schedule of
regional and international regattas and was selected as the women’s single -handed class for
the Olympics. “

About the Boat
“Twenty years ago we developed the Club 420 in response to the growing need for a more
durable, high-performance, double-handed racing dinghy that could stand up to the rigors of
club and collegiate programs. Ideal for crews ranging in size from 220-300 lbs., the Club 420 is
manageable for sailors coming out of the Optimist class and enables young sailors to learn
teamwork, trapeze and spinnaker techniques. The Club 420 is simple and safe for beginning
sailors and yet challenging enough for collegiate champions. The Club 420 offers more learning
opportunities than any other double-handed boat you can find. The Club 420 Class Association
promotes events on the local, regional, and national levels in North America. LaserPerformance
has sold more than 2000 Club 420’s to junior programs around the nation, and over 200 high
schools and colleges maintain fleets as well. The racing and learning will only improve as more
clubs standardize to the Club 420 and participation grows at every level. “

Transportation Policy
It is the responsibility of the parent to check the JSA website and refer to the Notice of Race
(NOR) and Sailing Instructions (SI) for each regatta their child will participate in. These
documents include important information that every sailor and parent is responsible for before
the regatta.
In order to limit the Junior Program’s liability, parents are responsible for transporting sailors
and boats to regattas. Instructors may not tie boats to cars or trailers, but may be consulted in
the process of preparing for transportation. Below are tips for different types of boat
transportation:
Towing: Never tow alone; always have at least one spotter. Never tow at night, in limited
visibility, or adverse weather conditions. Check tow line for integrity; Polyester (Dacron) or
polypropylene (only 60% as strong as polyester) line is highly recommended. Secure the
towline to towing bit or through bolted lifting eye or cleat; avoid screwe d in deck hardware. Do
not hold tow line by hand. Remove all items from boats being towed that could blow out, snag,
or interfere with tow (sails, bailers, gear, etc.). Slow and steady is key – keep the towline clear
of the propeller, anticipate the wind turning radius and longer stopping distance, and avoid
swamping or capsizing boats.
Tips for Optis: Put the rudder in the daggerboard trunk with the tiller facing forward.
Lead the bowline through the hole in the bow from underneath to avoid getting
snagged on bow rail.
Tips for 420s/Pixels: Have a driver in the last boat on the towline, otherwise the boats
won’t track. Put the centerboard halfway down.
Inside Vehicle: Suburbans and full-sized vans will fit two Optis in the back; minivans will fit one
with rear hatch ajar, but tied shut.
Car Top: Two 48” long 2” by 4” boards can be used instead of conventional rook racks. Make
sure wood coming in contact with the boat is protected with padding (towels, etc.) to prevent
chaffing and scratching the boats. Use a bowline as a backup tie down to the front grill, towing
eyes, or rear bumper.
Trailering: Never hook-up a trailer or boat for the first time on the day you are traveling.
Practice ahead of time and run through all safety measures to ensure full functionality of the

trailer. SCJYC owns a multi-boat trailer that can be made available for regatta transport. Please
contact the Program Director or Head Instructor beforehand if you would like to have your
child’s boat on the trailer. Although assistance with organization will be available from the
Junior Club staff, the ultimate responsibility for proper operation of the trailer lies with the
owner/driver of the towing vehicle.

Keelboat Racing Program
For sailors aged 14-18 who are interested in participating in the keelboat program, the Junior
Club will have access to a J-105. The culminating events of the season are the Dorade Trophy
hosted by Stamford Yacht Club and the Beach Point Overnight Race hosted by Beach Point
Yacht Club. A detailed racing and practice schedule will be distributed to interested sailors. In
addition, participation in the Junior Safety as Sea Seminar hosted by Larchmont Yacht Club is
mandatory. All sailors must take a Navigation Test. For younger, less experienced sailors, there
is an online test (see details on the following page). For sailors who have more experience, or
are interested in skipper or navigating for the team, there is an advanced navigation test that
will be given at Port Washington Yacht Club. Please make sure to notify the Head Instructor if
your child is interested in the Keelboat Racing Program.

Perpetual Awards and Trophies
Sheila Curtin Gross Memorial
It is the wish of those persons who were Officers and Committee Members for the years 1937-1939 to
donate to the Junior Club, a plaque in memory of Sheila Curtin Gross, Vice Commodore 1937-1938. The
winner is to be that member who during the summer proves to be the best “Corinthian”, providing t hat
a sufficiently high standard of excellence is established. It is therefore particularly appropriate that a
trophy be given in memory of Sheila Curtin Gross be awarded for that member displaying the finest
“Corinthianism” since it is for the qualities embodied in the term “Corinthian” that she is best
remembered by those who served and competed with her.
The Alix Elizabeth Foley Award
In 1989 Alix Elizabeth Foley was the Commodore of the Junior Club. Throughout her years, she was
known for her perseverance in the tasks placed before her, both on and off the water. On July 4 th, 1992
a trophy was donated in her memory by Mr. Franz Schneider, Mrs. Regula Foley, and Dr. William Foley.
The trophy is to be awarded to the lady member of the Junior Club who demonstrates perseverance in
bettering her sailing skills while contributing to the welfare of the Junior Club.

challenger for the Seawanhaka Cup in 1929, representing the Royal Northern Yacht Club of Scotland. It
is to be awarded annually to a helmsman in such class of yacht and upon such conditions as the Board of
