NYC Nippers 2016 – A fun way to dip your toe into sailing for children aged 6-8
This year’s NYC Nippers course welcomed the largest group of eager children than ever before to our club. Over six weeks in May and June, our adventurous 6-8 year olds bravely dipped their toe into sailing, many of them for the first time.
Thanks to all the participants in our Junior Regatta yesterday. We had a great number of entries (130 in total)
We hope that all had a great time and reached their individual goals!
Results for the two fleet are here:
