Yutes: Watch Kimball Livingston's talk today on "St Francis YC Junior Program, Ver. 3.0&quo

SAN FRANCISCO – Esteemed yachting journalist Kimball Livingston was Commodore of St Francis YC in 2016. He tells it like this. The Coach: “Commodore, we have a problem.” The Commodore: “Explain. I’ll see what I can do.” From that beginning, a certain Staff (former) Commodore went on to shake up youth sailing on SF Bay, blow up StFYC youth sailing per the advice of our coaches, and become the 2018 chair of the Junior Committee. You break it, you bought it. But why did youth sailing change dramatically in a single generation? Why is the StFYC experience relevant nationally, perhaps internationally, and why are we involved in an attempt to reset standards for sail training instruction?

Kimball will explain this and more when he speaks at today's StFYC Wednesday Yachting Luncheon. You can watch it live on the Club's Facebook page at 1230 Pacific,1530 Eastern, 2130 CET, etc. As always, a replay will available on the same page shortly after the livestream ends.
