Sail Camp History
In 1988, Mandy and William Hofmeister
were instrumental in forming "Miss Mandy’s Sailing Camp", the nucleus of which was the many parents and
juniors who sail at Harbor Island and Percy Priest Yacht Clubs.
From this small and under funded beginning has come Harbor Island’s Junior Program – comprised of a
sail camp which now runs four weeks in June, several regattas aimed specifically at junior sailors
and an ongoing contingent of juniors participating as crew and skipper in the many club regattas.
Many of the children that have graduated through the program become coaches in the program by completing
a U.S. Sailing Instructor course taken over two weekends in the spring.
The Junior Program is one of the best outreach efforts the club has to offer. Spanning several states,
it is available to those who cannot afford to pay, through membership scholarship funding and other
interested parties.
