Caribbean Sailing Photography
Bequia Youth Sailors
Two new portfolio's added:
Bequia Youth Sailors : Young Island Regatta
Bequia Youth Sailors : Weekly training
I have launched a new series of gallery portfolios to cover the Bequia Youth Sailors program.
The program offers young schoolchildren on Bequia the opportunity to learn to sail. Although its a small island, there are many people here who have never sailed, or learnt to sail, so this is a unique program. It also give the youngsters experience of many life skills too, e.g. teamwork, racing, competition & preparation.
The program has been so successful it has received the attention of Sir Frederick Ballantyne, the Governor General of St Vincent & the Grenadines, who loves the opportunities for the children, to get them 'off the streets' and give them a worthwhile purpose. He would like to see the program extended onto St Vincent.
Mr Ballantyne is looking to the program to deliver some serious athletes to the next Olympic Games, in the Laser class of sailing boat.
The galleries will be extended as required to incorporate new images and news from the program and while their own website is upgraded.
