The Marco Island Yacht Club beachfront is a beautiful spot for Island youngsters to learn the joys and skills of sailing.
Sitting on one of the Optis used in the program, the 2021 class of Youth Sailors are flanked by instructors (from left) Liz Paterson, Elle Richardson and Grace Roloff. Registration is now open for this summer’s classes.
The Marco Island Yacht Club has opened registration for this summer’s Youth Sailing classes, and all parents and grandparents in the community are invited to sign up their kiddos.
“Youth Sailing is aimed at children from seven to twelve years old, and we offer both Beginner and Intermediate classes,” said Dwyn von Bereghy, MIYC Sailing Fleet Captain. “We have seven weekly classes beginning June 6th and ending the week of August 1st.”
The beginner class meets in the morning from 9:00 AM until noon, and the intermediate class meets in the afternoon from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM. Young sailors can sign up for one week or more weeks. There will be no class the week of the 4th of July.
“Whether you enroll your own children or visiting grandchildren or other guests, you will be giving them one of life’s best lessons and pleasures,” von Bereghy said.
