HYC Jr. Sailing Committee Co-Chair
Iris is one of the Co-Chairs of the HYC Junior Sailing Program. In a "typical year," Iris races sailboats 12 months of the year. Iris actively campaigns her J-88 Deviation from April thru October on Long Island Sound. She hosts Jr. Sailors, 14 y.o. and older, in the Youth Challenge Series all summer.
She also competes in occasional regattas Charleston, SC, Block Island, Newport, Lake Ontario, Chicago, Key West, St. Petersburg, etc., throughout the year. Iris then races a Laser Radial in Huguenot's frostbite program from November to the end of March.
The Jr. Sailing Program wouldn't be what it is today without Iris.
