Blockheads was on site supporting the ILYA X Boat Championship this week giving 200 young sailors the tools and confidence to take care of their own equipment. Over 80 sailors signed up for Blockheads this week and now have access to hundreds of skills-building videos about rigging, tuning, and boat maintenance.

Harken sponsored the event, including taking a photo of every single kid — Harken photos can be found here:
