Alameda Juvenile Hall sail (Benjamin Walters)

Location: Berkeley Marina
Description: Our first sail with the combined Juvenile Hall-Sweeney class. Boys. Experimental program succeeded and this is our first class which will assign mentors and mentees. Eight classes, the last being graduation with the chief and judges attending. You are asked to sign up for at least three of the classes to cement the mentee relationship. The students were all on the experimental sails and are clearly going to be good sailors...and a delight to work with. Four POs will be on each sail. Precise time it starts alters from class to class for security reasons-you will receive an e mail specifying a day or two before the class.
