JY 15 Sailing has been a staple at DIYC since the boat was first made up in Niantic. I remember renting one (#18) through Pilots Point and sailing with my sister Marie (everyone thought we were married) winning the first night against Dave and Linda Dyson. I now race hull #2400 with my son Will who is equally hooked on racing JY15’s. I am excited to announce another fantastic year of JY-15 sailing at DIYC with a top notch race committee and great sailors on the water.

In partnership with FBYC, DIYC is attracting many frostbite sailors to our summer program and our intent is to build one of the best Thursday night OD summer series, and likewise help feed our local frostbite club for those who wish to extend the season. We have also worked with many other local sailors to get a bead on the JY15 used sailboat market, so if you are interested in buying one please let me know.

You do not have to be a DIYC member to race and storage comes as part of the entry fee. DIYC has also matched FBYC in our fee structure charging $18 a day for racing and even further discounted when joining both series. We welcome any new sailors who want to experience a Thursday night of racing at DIYC to come on out for a test drive, free of charge.

I look forward to seeing you on the water!
