This is a great week for New Bern NJROTC Sailing... with an expanding program, we need more boats. And now, thanks to hard work by the coaches and generous gifts from people who think it matters, we are getting a coach/chase boat, and a Javelin to sail in the fleet.
Here is the "new" Javelin on her trailer, on her way home... many miles to go, but we will dress her up in some new rigging and promise her some sailing action this fall!
Remember our regatta from this spring (May 2010)? Here's a pic of FJ#5, which was donated last winter, being closely followed by Brett M in his "stealth" inflatable. Brett likes the sailing program, has helped us at several sessions in a coaching & safety role, and announced that he would strongly consider donating the boat 'some day.'
Well apparently Some Day has arrived sooner than we thought! Brett is getting a new(er) boat for himself and we hope to welcome him back to future sailing events or training sessions!
