Sailors invited to send-off celebration for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Teams, presented by Maclaren, at Larchmont Yacht Club.
Send-Off Party
On July 14, the US Olympic Sailing Committee together with the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound will host “Good Luck USA Send-Off presented by Maclaren”, a celebration featuring the 16 Olympic and six Paralympic sailing athletes who will compete in this summer’s Games. The free party, open to junior sailors from across the country, takes place at Larchmont Yacht Club, in Larchmont, N.Y. This event represents an exclusive opportunity for America’s Olympic and Paralympic fans to meet the country’s best dinghy, keelboat and board sailors before they head to London for the Games. The party is free to attend with advance registration and will feature one-of-a-kind souvenirs, meet and greets with athletes and a few fun surprises.
“Every four years US Sailing’s Olympic Sailing Committee throws a very special send-off party for the Olympic and Paralympic Teams,” said Dean Brenner, Chairman, Olympic Sailing Committee and the US Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Team Leader. “We’re excited to partner with Maclaren, Sperry Top-Sider, JSA of Long Island Sound and Larchmont Yacht Club to introduce as many junior sailors as possible to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Team members. I encourage every junior sailor in America to make plans now to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
