Juniors Getting Ready for Season

Several FBYC Juniors were seen at the club this past weekend getting ready for the season. After racing off-shore on Saturday, Austin Powers and William Wirt were joined by Ben Buhl and Turner Moody on Sunday afternoon for some Opti sailing and race practice on Fishing Bay.

The juniors plan to practice again this Sunday and are hoping others will come out and join them. After a morning of sword fighting and dirt clod throwing, the sailors generally rig-up and hit the water around 11:00am.

The first away Regatta for the juniors this year is Sunday, June the 5th at Hampton Yacht Club see http://www.cbyra.org/redbook/HYCjrSpg.htm. This is a very informal regatta and a great season opener. The FBYC junior trailer will be loaded with boats and hauled down to Hampton the week prior.

Several of the five FBYC juniors traveling to this regatta plan to arrive early and check out the Blackbeard Pirate Festival held in Hampton on the 5th and 6th of June- see www.downtownhampton.com/blackbeard/.

Any juniors interested in this event and need boats hauled should contact Steve Wirt at . williamwirt@cox.net
