Focusing on young ocean racers

Peter Becker of American Yacht Club in Rye, N.Y., has been doing his part to grow the sport of sailing by organizing what has been dubbed the Young America Junior Big Boat Sailing Team . Becker helped young sailors get experience in J105s in overnight and other races and then put tougher a team of seven of them between ages 15 and 18 to sail on board High Noon , a Tripp 41 loaned to Becker's YABBST effort by the US Merchant Marine Academy Sailing Foundation for the Newport-Bermuda Race.
