The Mission of Peconic Gardiners Junior Sailing Association is to offer support for junior sailors at member junior sailing programs.
The support offered is all encompassing with a focus on encouraging Juniors to experience the joy of sailing and an appreciation of the natural resources present on the Eastern End of Long Island. PGJSA promotes the Corinthian spirit of sailing among its participants and encourages the teaching of positive lessons that create self-confidence, foster team work, build character and enable all members to have a life-long love of the sea and its benefits.
Using these guiding principles, PGJSA strives to support both serious competition and recreational opportunities for all sailors no matter what skill level.
PGJSA encourages members to sail in local venues as well as those outside the area and will offer opportunities for member clubs to share expertise and venues.
PGJSA Cruising the Bays
A “just-for-fun” event, Cruising the Bays is a day of leisurely sailing with no competition involved. Sailors of all levels of experience are encouraged to join in. Often including on-water games or a scavenger hunt, sailors head to a nearby beach for a picnic or BBQ where they can meet up with sailors from other clubs and share stories of the summer’s events.
Cruising the Bays is for PGJSA Member Clubs and invited guests only. Knowledge of the basics of navigating and overall boat handling are required. Sailors will be closely monitored and parents and safety boats are welcome.
Please ask your Head Instructor for details.
"Conduct and attitude considered as befitting partcpants in sports, especially fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing"
The PGJSA is committed to instilling the Corinthian ethos in its junior members, be it while sailing or in life. The Frederick T. Markham Sportsmanship Trophy may be awarded annually at the Championship ceremony to that sailor who has best demonstrated a single extraordinary act of sportsmanship during the season or has shown continuous sportsmanlike conduct.
