Sunflower State Games Regatta
|
|
The seventh annual Sunflower State Games Regatta on July 17 was bigger than ever
with 32 boats competing. This was also the first year we had enough young people
to have a youth class sailing MC Scows. The Johnson County Sailing Society had a
good sized contingent and there were a couple of boats from Clinton Lake as well,
and one from Salina. It was quite hot and the winds were a little light so we took
it easy with only three races. Tony Towle served as the SSG Sailing Commissioner
this year and had things well organized. Besides the sailing, we all enjoyed the
lunch, the watermelon and visiting with other sailors. Thanks to all who participated
and especially to the volunteers who made it happen.

Navy Junior ROTC Sail Academy
|
|
On June 22, 23 and 24, for the third year, Shawnee Yacht Club hosted a sail academy
for about 30 male and female youth members of the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training
Corps. Organized by Jeff Richards, the senior naval science instructor at Shawnee
Heights High School, the cadets spent their evenings at the YMCA's Camp Hammond
and their days at SYC learning and practicing sailing. Besides Richards and several
other NJROTC adult leaders, a group of SYC members helped with instruction and coaching.
Former SYC member, Duane Raine, came all the way from Texas to help out. The cadets
came from Topeka, Springfield Missouri and Oklahoma.
