Our YSP Head Instructor


Erick Danielsen, Head Instructor
2008 & 2009
The 2009 program was a series of week long sailing camps. Students learned basic water safety and basic sailing techniques. The emphasis was on learning to have fun safely on the water.

The students were sailing on Phiney Bay using DeWitt Dinghies and Laser sailboats. Both these boats are Cat rigged, meaning that they have a single, un-stayed main sail. The students learn to rig and un-rig the boats at the outset of the program. Students also gained big-boat experience on the Director's boat.

2009 was the eighth summer for the Program.
