Several of our area sailors who are involved with Junior Sailing Programs on Manhasset Bay battled the cold weather and the unexpected snowstorm to be in Annapolis, MD on February 5-9 to attend the US Sailing's National Sailing Programs Symposium (NSPS), which was sponsored by Vanguard Sailboats. More than 230 people attended, a record number of sailing instructors, coaches and program directors, which is 20 percent more than the previous year, and more than half of the attendees were there for the first time. US Sailing organizes the annual event to encourage people involved in sailing programs at any level to share ideas and learn more about sailing programs and instruction through seminars, meetings and networking. Sessions covered a wide range of subjects, including how to encourage teenagers to stay in a sailing program, sailing opportunities for people with disabilities, and how to run a community sailing program. Thanks to those who spent their weekend in "Arctic Annapolis" so that our area's junior sailors receive the very best sailing instruction this summer. FULL STORY
