SBJSA Travel Race Teams for Opti, Laser, and Club 420

Travel Race Team (TRT) members can register for one or both summer sessions, as long as they have qualified to do so based on demonstrated ability through the Head Race Coach. The TRT Program is comprised of 4 focus areas:

 • “Best practices” instruction on land and water

•  Race training and weekday intramural competition on Sodus Bay

•  Limited inter-club travel competition in the Finger Lakes area of NYS

•  Major Regional Regattas possibly including:

• The Centrals on Sodus Regatta (SBJSA/SBYC)
• US Sailing Junior Olympics (RYC)
• Other regattas maybe added 

The TRT Program at SBJSA is unique because we provide the boats for specific regattas as part of the 3-week camp registration fee. Many other programs, in our region and nationally, require participants to provide their own boat for interclub and area regattas. The SBJSA 3-week TRT camp registration fee, when paid in full, includes: team coaching, trailers for boat transport to Interclubs and the Junior Olympics (JOs), the use of an SBJSA boat and sails at Interclubs, Centrals, JOs and our SBJSA Thursday Night Racing series. Note that TRT members are assigned a boat, with all its gear and sails, for their camp session and are fully responsible for it being returned intact and in good condition, with all equipment accounted for. 

In preparation for the two major regional regattas, the TRT will train with the Performance Sailing (PS) program on select weekdays, as part of normal camp activities. The TRT will then travel to select area interclub regattas in the Finger Lakes area on either Tuesdays (Laser/420s) and/or Wednesdays (Optis) in most weeks.   

Parent participation with car pooling racers to interclubs and regattas requiered.
