|  Preparations for the 2004 Season: The 'Seven Ducklings' are finally helped back into the Water! |
Arel English, our Instructor in 2003
"On September 20, 1937, the B.Y.C. formally started the Junior Club for all kids under 21 years.
Captain E. Watkins assumed
the sponsorship of the Junior Club and it was very successful until the start of the war."

BYC sponsored its first
Youth Summer Sailing Program in 2002.
Two 1-week sessions (starting 15 July and 22 July 2002) were offered
with space available for six kids per week
and is considering doing it again in 2003! (As it turned out, the
program doubled in size in 2003!)
As you can see, BYC's own Youth Sailing Program has "come a long way"
since the early discussion stages two years ago in 2002. We are now in the
process of creating a
dedicated Web page which provides information about this program
and can serve the program's aims more effectively. Please help us with
content and design suggestions!
And now they wait in one straight line ... (Photo: Jo Schaefer)

"Incidentally, it was in this year of 1934 that the By-Laws and constitution
of the Junior Yacht Club were drawn up
and the Junior Club actually started. This was done on July 9, 1934."
