Prize giving photos of the NYC Davyâs Junior Regatta 2019
The NYC Davy Junior Regatta was held last week with blue skies, good winds and over 120 participants. After racing, there was fun atmosphere as junior sailors from across the clubs gathered to enjoy snacks including the ever popular Teddy's ice cream - which was a hit with sailors and instructors alike!
The celebrations continued into the night as the juniors sailors held a disco in the JB Room.
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out and Davy for kindly supporting the event.
