Sailing on the Waterfront
Junior Sailing Programs
This past summer, the Daniel Island Yacht Club (DIYC) introduced a Junior Sailing program to Daniel Island. It was the first sailing program at the Daniel Island Waterfront. With a total of 60 kids from ages 7 to 17, it was a huge success.
In addition, DIYC launched a Junior Opti Racing Program for all local sailors ages 7-12. All kids are welcome and will be racing in local regattas against other teams.
High School Sailing Program
The DIYC has donated the use of their 420 sailboats to both the Philip Simmons High School and Bishop England sailing teams for the Spring and Fall semesters of 2022.
It was such a success that the School of the Arts joined the program in the Fall. Everyone is encouraged to come out and see the practices Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday afternoons.
