About Us

The Dillon Junior Sailing Program is a great way to spend a Colorado summer outside learning a lifelong skill, sailing.

We focus on 3 things: safety, fun, & sailing skills. Our classes are for kids ages 10 to 18 of all skill levels, beginner to competitive. Certified sailing instructors teach our junior sailors in the classroom, on the dock, and on Lake Dillon. Junior sailing sessions are Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm.

Welcome to the 2010 DYC Junior Sailing Program!

Tue - 16 Feb Written by Frank Keesling

Greetings,

We are gearing up for another fantastic summer! We are pleased to announce that our Head Instructor, Stacy Brooks will be joining us again as the Head Instructor for all our students. In addition, we are thrilled to expand on our local racing team "Top of the Rocks" with upgraded boats and instructors eagerly waiting and looking forward to welcoming a very talented and enthusiastic group of racers.

Please note our summer camps start on June 28th which to two weeks later than years past. This allows for our instructors to properly open the camp and allow the lake to fill up to a proper level.

As we prepare for another wonderful summer, we would like to "Thank You" in advance for having your kids to the program on time. Along with encouraging a positive attitude, it is the single most important thing that you can do for your child. This helps the instructors get a quick start on their daily lesson plan and gives all of the sailors the maximum amount of time on the water. Please be sure to review the Downloads portion of the web site as it defines in more detail all aspects of the program.

As was the case last year, our primary means of communication during the summer will be by email and this new section of the web site.  Please plan to check your email  regularly once the summer begins.

Thank you for your continued support of the DYC Junior Sailing Program!

Exciting news for our Laser Fleet! The boats have gone under extensive repairs and each has been outfitted with all new gear. When it comes to learning properly, the students need the proper gear. We are excited to launch our new fleet of Lasers that all will have new vangs, outhauls and sails so the kids can be the best on the water. The Junior Tour racing schedule is posted below. Come out and support these kids as they compete against one another around the state of Colorado. Congratulations to Jordan Nelson for winning the tour in 2009. Way to go Jordan, you were very fast!
