Following the Flag Ceremony, there will be a Beginner's Sailing opportunity and public introduction to Junior Sailing on the bay. Parents and kids will have an opportunity to learn about the sport of sailing both off and on the water.
The VYC will hold an Open House with complimentary snacks and no host drinks from noon to 6 pm. Booths will manned, providing information about club membership, the Junior Sailing Program, the Vallarta Navy League and the new BoatMexico.com website.
At 12:30 pm a Catholic Priest will be joined by a small flotilla of dinghies and pangas. The entourage will then proceed to bless the boats in the harbor to begin the 2008-2009 Banderas Bay boating season with God's blessing.
At 2 pm, there will be a mini Optimist and Lasers Regatta in which the Vallarta Junior Sailing Program kids will race, followed by a delicious Spaghetti Dinner, raffle and auction at 6 pm featuring amazing prizes donated by prestigious businesses such as: No Name Boutique, Vallarta Adventures, Paradise Village and Hotel El Careyes to raise funds for the VYC Junior Sailing Program.
The VYC Junior Sailing Program goals are to:
• To teach seamanship, sailing and racing skills, in a safe and fun environment.
• To enable students to acquire, through the overall experience of program activities, life-long values such as sportsmanship, consideration of others, teamwork and self-reliance, as well as a love and respect for the sea.
• To teach young people how to sail to the best of their ability and interest, and to encourage growth in skill and competence through both individual and team participation.
• To encourage the acquisition of competitive sailing skills in regattas and in races at VYC and other Regional, National and International events.
The funds raised in events such as this make it possible for the VYC Junior Sailing Program students to represent La Bahía de Banderas and Mexico in diverse International and National competitions and provides scholarships to talented low-income students.
