Virtual Junior Olympic Festival - It's free!
Take part in our first Virtual Junior Olympic Festival Challenge! We know you’d rather be at the real thing, but we’ve created some cool activities for you to take part in with other junior sailors around the country. July through August 4th, we will be running four challenges and will host a virtual festival celebration and prize-giving on August 7th. The best part, it is FREE to all current US Sailing members! Just click on the RED link above to register. (Psst - all registered sailors get the 2020 VJOF sticker, as well as cool stuff from our sponsors New England Ropes and Harken Derm.)
Three ways to get a limited edition event t-shirt:
