Youth Sailing Programs and Yacht Club Directory
AVAILABLE ONLINE — Search for or Update Your Program and Club
Going live on April 1 (this is no April Fools joke!), this new FREE online directory by SOUTHWINDS lists Youth Sailing Programs and Yacht Clubs and Sailing Associations in the Southeast U.S. Previously printed in the April issue, we found that most youth programs hadn’t made final decisions on their summer programs by the March 1 deadline, so we decided to create an online directory where program organizers can update their programs, whether summer programs or year-around programs, any day of the year on their own. Every program
gets its own page with room for photos, schedules, general information, youth ages accepted, rates, contact info, links to Facebook and more. For those looking for programs, you can search by name, location or miles from a zip code. The 2012 programs are listed, and program organizers can register an ac-
count, claim their listing and update it. Or new programs can be added. We also added a yacht club directory, listing all the clubs that were on the main SOUTHWINDS site. Clubs can claim these listings and also get their own page to add photos, general information, contact info, links to Facebook and more.
To update your youth program or club, go to www.southwindsmagazine.info, or you can access it through the SOUTHWINDS main site at www.southwindsmagazine.com. 56 September 2013
