Dr. Bill Healy Scholarship for Junior Sailing at Niantic Bay Yacht Club

The Niantic Bay Sailing Academy (NBSA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based at the Niantic Bay Yacht Club in Niantic, CT. The Dr. Bill Healy Scholarship fund has been funded by generous donors who made contributions in memory of Dr. Bill Healy. Through this fund, sailing scholarships will be awarded to junior sailors within the Niantic Bay Yacht Club membership and youth within the community. We are especially seeking to support NBYC families who see the program fees as a challenge or barrier to enter their children in the program. Additionally, we seek local youth who may not have otherwise been exposed to sailing, a sport which offers camaraderie, fun, competition and the development of lifelong skills.

We offer a 4 or 8 week summer program (June 22 – August 14) providing instruction for ages 7 – 17. All abilities are welcome - from beginner sailors to those who seek more competitive racing. Classes meet several times per week for several hours depending on ability. Participants must be able to swim and pass a swim test before they can begin sailing. Boats are provided.

We also offer scholarship support to families who are seeking regatta fee reimbursement. Please see the form below for eligibility details.

The Niantic Bay Yacht Club (NBYC) has been a leader in junior sailing nationally and internationally for over 50 years. Sailors from NBYC’s Junior Program have gone on to compete in High school, collegiate, national, and world competitions as well as the America’s Cup.

Equally important are the countless young men and women who have taken their experiences at NBYC and gone on to make sailing a lifelong passion, whether it be cruising, competitive racing, day sailing, or just enjoying the outdoors on the water.

For more information about junior sailing on Niantic Bay (or to register without the scholarship) go to www.NianticSailing.org.

Every kid is built different, so camp should be too. At registration, families choose a “cabin” that fits their child’s interests and energy. Campers stay with age-based peers while enjoying activities designed around their style, plus weekly beach trips, special treats and camp-wide events! A better fit. More engagement. More fun.
