Dear JSA Alumni, Families, and Friends,

This year, we are thrilled to celebrate the 100th Birthday of the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound (formerly the Junior Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound)! Throughout 2024 we have come together to honor a century of sailing, learning, and friendship.

In late July, over 150 former JSA/JYRA sailors gathered at Larchmont Yacht Club’s Pandemonium pavilion for a memorable Centennial Birthday Celebration. It was a special evening, filled with reconnections and shared stories of those early years when we were honing our sailing skills and forging lifelong friendships. 

In recognition of this milestone year, we invite you to support the JSA of LIS Centennial Campaign with a gift of any amount. Your contribution will play a pivotal role in shaping JSA’s future, helping us continue to foster programs and activities that spark a love for sailing and nurture a lifelong passion for this incredible sport. To learn more about JSA initiatives like Instructor Support and Training, Marine Ecology Education, and JSA Athlete Grants – and make a contribution – please visit the JSA Centennial Campaign.

As this year progresses, we encourage you to share your cherished memories, stories, and photos from your time as a JSA sailor at 100 Years of JSA Memories. For Facebook users, join our ‘100 Years of JSA/JYRALIS’ Facebook Group.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity during this incredible Centennial Year.

Best wishes,

    Tim Clark

Chair, JSA of LIS Board of Directors
