Walt Schwanhausser Youth Sailing Award

The Walt Schwanhausser Youth Sailing Award honors one of the true gentlemen in the sport of sailing, who was instrumental in the formation of what has become GRSA Sail Camp.  His legacy is many, now grown, kids who have come to love sailing as did he.

The award is presented annually to a young sailor who has exhibited his or her commitment to the sport of sailing by participation in as many events as possible, and by their overall Corinthian spirit.

2006 Award

The Walt Schwanhausser Youth Sailing Award for 2006 was presented to Scott Racette (second from left), after a very close vote of the GRSA Board of Directors.  Pictured (left to right) are Mike Metheny, Scott Racette,  Mark Racette, and Bob Damon, Chairman of Sail Programs.
