Chabil Mar is a proud sponsor of the Placencia Youth Regatta that will be held on the 23rd & 24th of May 2015 in Placencia Village.
The purpose of the event is to teach children how to sail and race and is organized by the Placencia Sailing Club (PSC), the 4th sailing association in Belize.
“Placencia Youths will recognize that not only is sailing a part of their rich culture. The skills and learning involved in such a fun and exciting sport will strengthen them mentally and physically and improve their self-esteem, self-confidence, and leadership skills,” reads the description on PSC’s Facebook page.
The Placencia Sailing Club was founded in January 2012 by Alan Usher and Shelly Bradley from the Belize Sailing Association, and Mr. & Mrs. Alvin Cabral Jr., owners of South Waters Resort and Belize Sailing Adventures in Placencia.
This year’s race will start on the piece of beach between Cozy Corner and Tipsy Tuna and attendees are asked to bring their binoculars to watch the exciting action that will unfold during the race.
Come out and support all the young sailors competing from optimist clubs around Belize.
