The Lake Saint Louis Sailing & Paddling Club is pleased to present the 2010 USA Junior Olympic Sailing Festival - Midwest, on July 16-18, 2010, in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri. We plan to race fleets of Sunfish (singles and doubles), Lasers, Laser Radials and Optis. We will gladly add other fleets if we can get a few boats, so please let us know if you would like to race something other than the boats listed above.
The Junior Olympic Sailing Program is a nationwide series of regattas for youth ages 8 to 21. Each event in this family of regattas is hosted by a different club or organization, but all events share a common goal: to promote the enjoyment of sailing and development of skills to young sailors as well as provide an Olympic pathway for talented junior sailors. Events mix Olympic-style competition with elements of learning and fun for all levels--from beginning racers to those with Olympic aspirations. In 2010, 25 events are planned in the continental United States and Hawaii and over 4,000 sailors expected to participate. Junior Olympic Sailing is coordinated by US SAILING and sponsored nationally by West Marine, Gill, Bullfrog Sunblock, Hobie Polarized Sunglasses, and Active.com.
We are looking for sailors from 8-21 years of age of all skill levels – from novice to collegiate - to join us for a weekend full of sailing and fun. We'll have Friday morning and afternoon sailing lessons for the new or novice sailors, as well as our very popular annual Pirate Party for all sailors (open to sailors/future sailors as young as 5) on Friday afternoon starting at 4:00pm. Racing will take place on Saturday and Sunday. Sailors can choose to participate in the Friday lessons, the Pirate Party, the racing, or any combination of these activities. Spectators and participants will have full access to the beautiful Lake Saint Louis Community Association Clubhouse and beach, which provides for fabulous stadium-like views of the sailing.
More information, including an online registration form and the NOR can be found on the event website. Questions? Contact Regatta Chairman Pearson Buell – 636-288-9451. And please pass this message along to any junior sailor that might be interested in joining the fun!
