Instructors
Kathryn Thyne - Head Instructor
We are indeed fortunate to have Kathryn Thyne returning as our lead instructor. As many of you know, in addition to being a fine sailor, in real life she is a third year high school Biology teacher with a Masters degree.
John Wright
I know that the returning juniors will be thrilled to know that the very popular John Wright will also be returning. John’s sailing/instructing skills along with his infectious sense of humor ensure that the kids not only learn good sailing and racing skills, but are enthused and have a great time.
