Royal Victoria YC Junior Sailing Program

While we were visiting the Royal Victoria Yacht Club (RVYC) in Victoria, BC, this summer we got a chance to see some of their junior sailing programs in action. One thing that was really, REALLY impressive was the one where they can start the kids at 4 years old. For some kids that is about the time they get their first tricycle! But here they are out sailing double-handed in a dinghy. The next step is sailing solo. The more advanced kids get trained in racing and the video shows one of the exercises in action on the hard. The instructor critiques their progress and times them with a stopwatch and records their times. A scan of some of the fleet of boats shows why the RVYC has a lot of good sailors. Here is a link to the video: https://vimeo.com/74023075  

Thanks for that, John. The benefits to kids learning to sail is more than many people realize. Maybe others know of Jr sailing programs in their area they'd like to promote.  

Love to see that, we have a growing junior and beginner program at the SYC, thanks to an Olympic legacy donation of 2 420 advanced trainers and 2 similar trainers thanks to the WVYC, as well as some donated Opti's. Our training program is set to expand next season and our club will host more racing events. These kids have a great time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUyrB1hX088

I was the junior sail director at the Whitby Yacht Club on Lake Ontario years ago. All junior sail programs deserve and need the support of the senior members of yacht clubs. They are the future of our sport. We had 120 kids come through the program one summer and all had a positive experience and we held an awards night for them as well. From Optimists to Lasers to Laser 2's to 470's and 420's they all have fun.

I am lucky to be included in a fledgling program being started in SE Wisconsin by a physics teacher at one of the Charter High Schools. Mr. Tim Overocker (the aformentioned teacher) has started a sailing team at Lakeview Tech HS (my son attends there, which is how I've gotten involved) and is also working with Harborside Charter HS, both in Kenosha. From what I understand, they are trying to interest high schools all along L. Michigan. He has gotten support from the Kenosha Yacht Club, too. A real grass roots effort. Mr. O, as the kids call him (and his wife Mrs. O, who is also a qualified sailor) is seeing growth he really deserves recognition for his work!  

Our club in Wichita (Ninnescah YC) has made a commitment to encourage the children of both members and non-members to enroll in both classes and camps that our club operates all summer. The club makes the boats available and the club provides certified instructors who with adult help and parental supervision make the program such a success that the parents I've spoken with believe it changes the lives of their children....The membership is proud of the Junior Sailing Program. Pat  

It is important to include our youth in learning the many joys of all aspects of sailing. From competition to gunk holing it is a life-long past time we all can enjoy from our child hood to our second child hood. For my part, as I am not involved in any formal children's sailing programs, I take my grand kids and the kids of my neighbors out for time spent on the water learning the "ropes" of our sport. Of course I passed along my love for the sport to my son and my step son and, frankly, that time spent with the "kids" was and is one of my most rewarding spent at the helm of the boat and the helm of being a parent.  

These programs are fantastic , my 14 year old son has been in the program at Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club for about 5-6 years now and has grown to love the sport. He is also now racing on keel boats on the weekends when not dingy sailing. This has also grown to schools such Parkland Senior Secondary having a Sailing academy where they sail twice a week and learn other aspects of boating / sailing when they can't be on the water. Many of the kids that go through these programs end up teaching in the summer courses and passing on the knowledge that they have learned.  

This is just fantastic! Great video, too! I love the little voice in the background, "Is anybody worried about anything?" Another voice, "I hurt my head." I can't get over the fact that some of these kids are only four years old! Wish I'd learned about sailing 54 years earlier!!  

Our yacht club, Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club, Bellevue, WA on Lake Washington, has been training kids 8-18 years for 17 years. We started small and have grown to a fleet of 22 sailboats and 6 inflatibles. We have Opti's, V15's, Lasers, and 2 - 29ers. We train about 250 kids every summer and some have become our instructors. We also have a racing team which participates in a number of Northwest races. We host one race at our Club every summer for the other sailing programs in the area. We started the program with donated boats and volunteers from the Club and we are now self-sustaining with a regular boat replacement program. We continue to do our part to bring new sailors into the world and it gives us pleasure to see them move on to racing, cruising, and boat ownership.

Our sailing association partners with the city to provide a week long sail camp. They have space for about 15 kids and sessions are usually full through the summer. Here are a couple of great kids, talking about it .

Hartwarming Posts It's really heartwarming to read the posts about the clubs that are helping the kids to have a good time learning to sail. People are donating their time, money, and facilities to make this happen are to be commended for their efforts. Jackdaw: What the Wayzata Yacht Club on Lake Minnetonka did to create a sailing center next to the yacht club is outstanding, a regular sailing mecca. And to generate so many boats for the Wednesday night races is also awesome. As for the links above, the one by Stretch with the on-water shots and the other by by Indysailor with the interview both give me ideas for additional video work next year. A few years ago the Poulsbo Yacht Club (PYC) got its Jr Sailing program started with a gift of 10 Opti boats by one of the members. Since then many more boats have been added including other class boats. There is a core of high school aged sailors now who came up through the ranks, as it were, and are doing well in local competition. One project on my to-do list is to make a video of how to use the our PYC portable pump out. Oh yes, really exciting, tell me about it, but its important to know the proper way to use this all important piece of equipment. Last but not least, I want to ad a "Thank You" to Greg Delezynski for his post about his electric outboard motor test. His video was the spark that got me to post the RVYC video. Link to Greg's post and his video: http://forums.sbo.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?p=1068673&highlight=electric outboard test I'm always open for more ideas that can be used to turn into boating videos.

Need-to-know information for junior club, typical day, what to bring, rowan's law - concussion policy.

• Rowan’s Law was named for Rowan Stringer, a high school rugby player from Ottawa, who died in the spring of 2013 from a condition known as second impact syndrome (swelling of the brain caused by a subsequent injury that occurred before a previous injury healed). Rowan is believed to have experienced three concussions over six days while playing rugby. She had a concussion but didn’t know her brain needed time to heal. Neither did her parents, teachers or coaches.

Rowan’s Law and Rowan’s Law Day were established to honor her memory and bring awareness to concussions and concussion safety. The last Wednesday of each September has been designated as Rowan’s Law Day to help raise awareness about concussion safety.

Rowan’s Law - Rules

In 2019, new concussion rules came into effect through Rowan’s Law, to improve concussion safety in amateur competitive sport. If you are an athlete under 26 years of age*, parent of an athlete under 18, coach, team trainer or official you need to follow the rules of Rowan’s Law below:  

• Review any one of Ontario's official Concussion Awareness Resources before registering or serving with your sport organization; and
• Review your sport organization’s Concussion Code of Conduct that they will provide to you; and
• Confirm that you have reviewed both of these resources every year with your sport organization(s)

* Exception: A sport organization that is a University, College of Applied Arts and Technology or other Post-Secondary Institution will be advising athletes of any age that they need to follow the rules of Rowan’s Law .  

Involved in more than one sport?

No matter how many sport organizations you register with in a given year, you are only required to review a Concussion Awareness Resource once within that year. You are however required to confirm your review of a Concussion Awareness Resource with each sport organization with which you register.   You are also required to both review and confirm your review of the Concussion Code of Conduct for each sport organization with which you register. The RCYC follows the Ontario Sailing recommendations and code of conducts. Review the appropriate Ontario Official Concussion Awareness Resources:

• Rowans Law Booklet - Concussion Awareness 10 and Under
• Rowans Law Booklet - Concussion Awareness Ages 11 - 14
• Rowans Law Booklet - Concussion Awareness Ages 15 and Up
• Rowans Law Video - Concussion Awareness 10 and Under
• Rowans Law Video - Concussion Awareness Ages 11 - 14
• Rowans Law Video - Concussion Awareness Ages 15 and Up
• Ontario Sailing - Concussion Code of Conduct - Athletes & Participants

• Ontario Sailing - Concussion Code of Conduct - Designated Person
• ​​​​EModule Access

Removal From/Return-to-sport

The Rowan’s Law Removal-from/Return-to-sport requirements came into effect in 2020. Sport organizations will be required to have a removal-from/return-to-sport protocol. RCYC will follow the Ontario Sailing procedures:

Explore kids boating activities in victoria.

Boating activities for kids in Victoria often include hands-on instruction in watercraft handling, navigation techniques, and safety procedures. Children learn how to maneuver boats effectively, understand wind and tide patterns, and respond to emergencies on the water. Through practical experience and skill-building exercises, they develop confidence and competence in operating different types of vessels, empowering them to enjoy recreational boating safely and responsibly.

What do kids learn in boating activities?

In boating activities, kids can learn a variety of valuable skills and knowledge, including:

1. Watercraft Handling:

Children learn how to operate different types of watercraft, such as sailboats, kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards. They develop skills in steering, propulsion, and maneuvering safely on the water. 2. Safety Procedures:

Boating activities emphasize the importance of safety measures and protocols. Kids learn how to properly use personal flotation devices (PFDs), navigate water hazards, respond to emergencies, and follow boating rules and regulations. 3. Navigation Techniques:

Participants are introduced to basic navigation concepts, including reading nautical charts, understanding buoys and markers, and using compasses or GPS devices to determine direction and location. 4. Environmental Awareness:

Kids gain knowledge about marine ecosystems, including the flora and fauna found in coastal areas. They learn about the importance of preserving marine habitats and practicing responsible boating behaviors to minimize environmental impact. 5. Teamwork and Communication:

Boating activities often involve teamwork and collaboration, especially in activities like sailing or dragon boating. Children learn to work together, communicate effectively, and coordinate their actions to achieve common goals while on the water. These experiences foster leadership skills, mutual respect, and camaraderie among participants.

What to look for in good boating activities for kids?

When selecting boating activities for kids, consider the following factors:

1. Safety Measures:

Ensure that the program prioritizes safety with qualified instructors, proper safety equipment, and adherence to safety protocols. Look for certifications such as lifeguard training, CPR, and boating safety courses for staff members. 2. Age-Appropriate Instruction:

Opt for programs that offer age-appropriate instruction tailored to the children's skill levels and developmental stages. Activities should be engaging and challenging while also providing adequate support and guidance for beginners. 3. Variety of Watercraft:

Choose programs that offer a variety of watercraft options suitable for different interests and abilities. Whether it's sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or rowing, having access to a range of watercraft allows kids to explore various boating experiences. 4. Educational Components:

Look for programs that incorporate educational components, such as teaching basic navigation skills, marine ecology, or environmental conservation. These educational elements enhance the learning experience and provide valuable knowledge about boating and water ecosystems. 5. Positive Environment:

Seek programs that foster a positive and inclusive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Consider the program's reputation, reviews, and testimonials from other parents or participants to gauge the overall atmosphere and satisfaction level. A supportive and encouraging environment can enhance the enjoyment and learning outcomes for kids participating in boating activities.
