WE HOPE TO INSTILL YOUTH WITH A LOVE OF BOATING AS A LIFETIME SPORT, WHILE PROVIDING THE FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS NECESSARY FOR PARTICIPANTS TO ADVANCE AS FAR AS THEIR DESIRE, SKILL AND HARD WORK MAY TAKE THEM. WE WORK TO ENCOURAGE SKILLED AND CONFIDENT YOUTH WHO WILL RESPECT OTHERS, THEIR EQUIPMENT, AND THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT; AND BE WILLING TO HELP FELLOW BOATERS ON AND OFF THE WATER. OUR GOAL IS TO GRADUATE OUR GHYC JUNIOR SAIL PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WITH AN ENHANCED SENSE OF SELF-RELIANCE.
