There is so set curriculum for this offering, instead offering the chance for the participating youth to decide their preference on goals and boat class being sailed dependent on the conditions present.

8 Bells: Charlie Husar

The sailing community at large lost an important booster last week, with the death of Charlie Husar, longtime companion of EYCer H. Marie Harkenrider. Known for his relentless promotion and organization of the Cal 25 class -- some might call him its personification -- Charlie made sure the class remained vital through the years, including its longtime inclusion in our Beer Can Series and other local events. He brought a steady stream of newcomers into sailing, first as crew in the Cal fleet and eventually as new boat owners and committed sailors. A founder of the Good Old Boat Regatta and other well established events, he also served as CBYRA's Cruising One Design High Point scorer for too many years to count. Read more about Charlie here and on the Cal 25 class website.
