Sail-World.com : Demo rides on 18ft skiffs for youth sailors

Demo rides on 18ft skiffs for youth sailors

'Aussie 18s International Regatta'    www.h2oshots.com

The Aussie 18’s International Regatta will take place on San Francisco Bay on August 20th and will be offering demo rides for children 10 and over that have a desire to take a ride on one the fastest sailing craft on the planet.

The Event coordinator David Gibson is heading up the event, has been doing similar rides for youths in Sydney Harbor for quite some times and notes: 'The idea to encourage any kid to take this type of racing is important for the future of the USA scene so any thing we can do to help would be good.'

Each ride would be probably around 10-20 minutes dependent on conditions and numbers. Wetsuits and life jackets are required, and if you have a harness, you may even spend some time on the wire.

The event is tentatively scheduled to begin at 11:00 AM at the east end of Crissy Field. You can contact David at davids_gibson(at)tnt.com.au for more details!
