In 1928 a group of 6 juniors approached Commodore Joseph E. Jessop about starting a junior sailing program in the club. Jessop, a forward thinking Commodore, decided it would be a good idea, despite the grumblings of several members. The initial objective was to teach "swimming, boat care, racing tactics, and sportsmanship"; 80+ years later we are still following the same objective.
The initial class consisted of Robert Town, the 1928 Jr. Commodore, brothers Gordon Frost, Sr., Albert A. Frost, Jr., Robert Merit, Grant Stone and Walter Fisch. Lessons were taught in Sea Mews and Starlets (a junior trainer that was a smaller version of the popular Star class).

Report
San Diego Yacht Club Commodore Brian Thomas on San Diego County banning recreational boating. The array of container, tanker, and cruise ships in Long Beach Harbor shook up the breeze while the Santa Anas fought to come in all weekend, giving us moderate wind on Saturday resulting in a delayed start and sporty conditions on Sunday.
