St. Croix Youth Sailing Association

29er clinic update from Chenay Bay. ⛵️

Clinic students taking a well-deserved lunch break after a strong morning on the water.
This 29er clinic is not just about speed and boat handling. It’s also about learning together, resetting between sessions, and building the kind of team energy that carries back onto the water.

Back at it after lunch.

Quick reset between sessions!

Our Opti sailors took a quick pause to cool off, relax, and enjoy the water before getting back to work.

Long days on the water come with plenty of learning, but also moments like these that make the memories just as special.

Taking it international in France in April.

Serena Sheraw (helm) teamed up with UK sailor Thea Miller (crew) to compete in the French 29er Eurocup in Carnon, lining up against more than 130 teams from around the world.

The conditions were challenging, but exactly the kind of experience that helps teams grow by learning to adapt, communicate, and keep improving every race.

We're grateful for the guidance of coach Marcin Jozefowski and the opportunity to compete at this level.

From the boat park to the podium.

After a weekend of learning, adapting, and competing in Salinas, Sage Siverly and Serena Sheraw finished their Festival de Velas de Salinas campaign with a podium result in the 29er Class.

More than the finish, this trip was about growth, building light wind skills, gaining race experience, and continuing to raise the level of youth sailing from St. Croix.

Thank you again to coach Caroline Atwood, the organizers, and Jose Cacho Rivera for creating opportunities like this for Caribbean sailors.
