Sailing has been said to be a sport that one can enjoy throughout life's stages. It is also a sport that families can share together. What better way than to spend an afternoon on the water, away from the everyday distractions that prevent families from enjoying each other's company. Children and adolescents are given the opportunity to master skills that increase their confidence, while teenagers, notorious for becoming uncommunicative the minute they enter the teen years, actually talk to their parents. It would be hard not to, considering the close quarters. Frostbiting is a good example of families enjoying the day together. Last Sunday, the winners for the day were Pedro Lorson and Mimi Berry, siblings who grew up sailing on Manhasset Bay and now are starting their own families in Port. Ralf Steitz sailed with his wife, Jamie, and both Cornachio brothers, David and Matt, were out crewing for Ted Toombs and Bob Kirtland. And John Silbersack's regular crew, son Nichols, stepped aside to let his younger sister, Johanna, aged 10, experience the thrill of sailing in an IC dinghy. Nichols, not prone to be left on land, drove one of the crash boats for RC. FULL STORY
