Hello Parents and
Sailors,
I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Sharyn Wellnitz and
I am the chairperson for the upcoming LYC
You Gotta Regatta
The reason for my email is to encourage you and your summer
sailors to attend this event. This is going to be a really fun day and a taste
of what it's like to be involved with the LYC sailing program year round. Youth
sailing guests are welcome and encouraged to join LYC members to attend
any and all sailing events and programs.
My son Tye, now 9,
started in the Midshipmen - Learn to Sail Fleet when he was 7 and after a
season when he turned 8 he was promoted to the Commodores - Learn to Race
Fleet. He has been participating in the Commodores Fleet for a year and a
half now and we all love it. Tye started out as a very shy little boy who
lacked self confidence and was reluctant to try anything new. We have
been so excited and amazed to see him blossom and grow
within himself and the sailing program . His confidence has increased
and with every passing day he is more and more excited to try new things. He is
even flourishing at school and his teachers have made numerous remarks on how
delighted they are to see how his self esteem grows.
In the past 18 months we have had the opportunity to
participate in most of the local sailing regattas which have been held in fun
places such as The Florida Keys, Naples and Fort Myers on The Gulf Coast and
Jensen Beach on The Treasure Coast. Tye has made so many friends and there is a
real camaraderie between the young sailors. The rest of our family have also
enjoyed making new friends and it's great being able to get out of town as
regularly as 1 weekend a month to fun places with them all. And it's not bad
being able to hang out on the beach or a boat with friends whilst watching our
children sail and have loads of fun! Just to reiterate - it's loads of FUN!
So I encourage you to come out and join us on..
Saturday, August 10th from 11.00am -
2.30pm.
Watch your kids have fun and see the sailing skills they've
learnt over the summer and feel free to join in as this will be fun for the
entire family.
If you have any questions or would like any further
information on You Gotta Regatta or any
other LYC Sailing program questions don't hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to meeting you next Saturday!
Regards
Sharyn
