2006 PRSA
Special Olympics Sailing Program
at the Washington Sailing Marina

When: Monday evenings, June 12 through July 17, 6 PM - 8 PM,
plus an end-of-season local regatta July 22, and a potential trip to St. Marys MD July 29 - 30.

What we need: skippers and their boats to race in the cove while taking Special Olympics Athletes on board as crew,  either one skipper and two experienced Athletes; or one skipper, one safety officer, and one inexperienced Athlete.  There are five Athletes who have signed up, so we'll need 3 to 5 Lightnings , with skippers, participating,  although not every skipper/boat will need to go out every Monday. 

Commitments to date: Frank Gallagher and Joe Warren have agreed to participate, and Drew Hudson has offered his boat, but the boat will need a skipper.  If we can get two more boats with skippers plus a skipper for Drew's boat, we should be all set.

Remarks: This is a very well-organized program; plenty of on-land support and supervision are available.  Frank, Joe, and Drew and others have given this program their generous support in years past.  They will tell you this is a worthwhile and rewarding way to give to our community while enjoying our sport.
