Townsend Cup and Plate seamanship

https://www.emsdinghies.com

Junior seamanship skills competition, with trophies for first boy and girl. Sailing will be in pairs, but the helm will be eligible for the competition.

For juniors, parents/guardians are responsible for deciding if their child should race. They should assess the sailor's skill, the weather conditions, and whether the sailor can right the boat unaided. Parents/guardians must also ensure that the boat is properly rigged for both the conditions and the sailor's ability.
