Union Going to Butterfly Nationals! Sailing School to sponsor trip
Hiking strap is needed?

Posted Wednesday, June 29, 2005

 

Mike Ruwitch, Avana Andrade and Jim Young are tackling a 25+ hour drive to get to Torch Lake Yacht & Country Club for the Butterfly Nationals July 19 thru 21. Mike & Avana are training relentlessly with on the water work every day; Optimum heel in light air, starting tactics, down wind speed, hike hard and stay flat for maximum upwind pointing and speed....these young sailors are heading East to test their meddle and the Country Club setting at Torch Lake ain't going to be all that bad.

This Butterfly craze is all Jim Young's fault....and all of us at Union thank him! Check out www.jimyoungsailing.com or www.butterflyer.org to see his handiwork.
