Table of Contents Acknowledgments Acknowledgments
The creation and culmination of content in the book was developed by Jessica Servis, US Sailing’s Reach Initiative Manager, with the support and dedication of the US Sailing staff and volunteers below. This project was made possible through a grant from the John B. and Nelly Llanos Kilroy Foundation, due to the combined efforts of John O’Flaherty, Executive Director Community Boating Center and Jack Gierhart, Executive Director of US Sailing. This curriculum uniquely creates a shared opportunity for learning in the classroom and on the water.
