Junior Sweeps 2019

Red Bank - August usually means the start of back to school shopping and getting ready for the fall but out on the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers, August means the return of the Junior Sweeps! Kids eight years old and up from six boating clubs all around the two river area came out to take part in the four day sailing event to hone their sailing skills with younger sailors using Optis and older ones using 420s. Shrewsbury Sailing and Yatch Club held the first two days on the Shrewsbury River with the Monmouth Boating Club hosting the final two days on the Navesink River. Multiple races were held each day, with instructors providing tips, feedback, and motivation between each race so that each participant was fired up and ready for the next race.
