Ever get those February blahs? Well you won't have to any longer. Start racing again on February 13 and 14 with the Texas Youth Sailing Association. The Association has a wide variety of races planned between February and October.
Sailing is a great sport for children and you often see sailors as young as five or six beginning to race. This is a sport many will continue in high school and in college.
Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more about junior sailing. I can assist you in getting in touch with a junior sailing program that is near you and meets your needs.
Most of these regattas feature optis, lasers and 420 sailboats.

Looks like a great year sailing for the kids.
Way to go, Hunter. Solid information. Good luck on the water.
this is great for children to learn. i hope many parents take advantage of it.
I think its great anytime kids are doing something besides watching TV or playing video games.
