Youth and Adult Sailors: Get Your Applications In

Here are two very different opportunities for sailors: one a great job opportunity for an adult sailor at the Bay Model in Sausalito, and the other competitive race-training opportunities for youth sailors in Long Beach. Both have deadlines coming up fast.

Bay Model Job Opportunity:

The Bay Model in Sausalito, run by the Army Corps of Engineers, is looking for a new volunteer coordinator for the visitor center. We think this could be a pretty cool job for a sailor interested in helping others discover the magic of the Bay. It’s located right on the Sausalito waterfront, and outside the offices sit the brigantine Matthew Turner and the schooner Seaward. It’s a terrific facility that helps kids and adults get introduced to the Bay’s ecosystem.

We’re giving you short notice since applications are due in by September 27. It looks like a pretty cool gig for the right sailor. To learn more and apply click here.

Youth Racing Camp — Long Beach

US Sailing Youth Racing Camps, presented by Risk Strategies, will be hosted in 2024 in both Long Beach and Miami. Youth sailors who would like to apply to participate need to get applications in by October 1. In Long Beach this is an opportunity for youth sailors in the ILCA 6, 29er, Formula Kite and I420 classes. Again, applications are due by October 1.

The format of the camps brings together top youth sailors and coaches in a collaborative and competitive environment, promoting information sharing and resource optimization. Sailors attend with their own team/regional program coach, and US Sailing coaches lead training for the athletes and coaches in each class. This hybrid format combines a regatta-competition environment with collaborative training, allowing sailors and coaches to try new things and get immediate feedback.

Long Beach is the site of the 2028 Olympic sailing competition and an ideal place for youth training. You can learn more here and request an invitation here.
