The original intent of the SDYC Sailing Foundation was to use donations to support the Junior Sailing Program founded by Joe Jessop in 1928. Jessop foresaw the club's future in the development of young sailing enthusiasts. Not only has the vision been realized, but the program has grown in size and scope, offering opportunities for all youngsters in the community to participate, to experience the thrill of sailing, and to develop the skills and confidence that come with good seamanship and the Corinthian yachting tradition.
To that end, we've established the SDYC Juinor Sailing Endowment fund at the San Diego Foundation. Our goal is to grow the endowment to a level where it can fund the Junior Program annually.
We all know sailing is an involved sport. Good equipment and teaching is essential for a positive experience. Our fleet now includes CFJ sailboats, as well as club-owned Sabots, C420s, and J22s. Thank you for your support of our junior sailors and future leaders of our community.
