Twenty young girls from Girls Inc
in Lynn were treated to a sail on the America's Cup 12-meter
yacht, Valiant, learned some knots with NWSA President
Diana Smith and listened enthralled to Katherine O'Connell tell
about her voyage on the Southern Ocean as part of the 2000-2001 BT
Global Challenge crew. All the girls were identified by
their azalea T-shirts. This was Marblehead's first
AdventureSail®; but the 6th in the region.

July 21, 2002 - South Hampton,
N.Y.
Hosted by: Breakwater Yacht Club
NWSA Coordinator: Valli Cook
Co-chairs: Charlene Kagel, CGKPCA@aol.com, and Carol Morse
This is the third year Breakwater
Yacht Club has hosted an AdventureSail® day. As in the past
the day included racing as part of the Yacht Club's event.
Each participant went home with a beautiful trophy. An
excellent lunch was served. The day was exciting, rewarding and
thrilling for the kids. Best of all this is a program which
the BYC members are excited about taking part.
The members of the Breakwater Yacht Club have demonstrated a
strong commitment to giving children in the Hamptons community an
opportunity to experience the thrill of sailing. This year Bruce
Tait, member of Breakwater Board of Directors and chair of the
Fundraising Committee, announced the availability of scholarships
for those children who participated in the AdventureSail®
day. The scholarship is a week of free sailing
lessons. Several scholarships will be available for next
summer's participation.
This program is a success because
of the diligent and attentive work of co-chairs Carol Morse and
Charlene Kagel and boat owners who shared their boats and time.
