Junior Regatta (July 25th):
The Regatta is open to ALL juniors (members and non-members). There is NO cost. RRYC will provide T-shirts, water, refreshments , lunch and trophies. We would like some confirmation as to how many boats to plan for. A sign up sheet is in the clubhouse, or you can contact Coleman Brydon at treasurer@rryc.org. My phone number is 804-379-1697 (in Richmond). If you prefer, you can call the club directly at 804-438-6650 before 9:00 AM or leave a message.
As in previous years, this regatta is for Optis, Sunfish, Lasers,Laser Radials, and 420’s. Last year, everyone had a great day on the water, and our dock is a great place for adoring parents and grandparents to watch their racers!

Junior Sailing Award
Burwell Vaden established a special Junior Sailing Award in memory of his wife Polly Vaden, who died June 26, 1999. The award includes a permanent trophy to be kept at RRYC. The trophy is engraved with the name of the junior sailor who best meets the criteria for the award, and is presented at the RRYC annual meeting in November. The recipient also receives an engraved award to keep.
Criteria for the award are sportsmanship, leadership, and participation, as well as proficiency in sailing classes, races, and other related sailing events. Helping children reach their full potential was a goal actively pursued by Polly, and this award in her memory is a meaningful way for us to remember her and the ideals she espoused.
