Ralph Harvey is new coach at CI sailing club.

(CISC): The Cayman Islands Sailing Club is preparing for 2011 by ramping up its staff in preparation for another busy sailing season. It is with regret that Mike Weber, who spearheaded the growth of the youth sailing programme, has decided not to renew his contract and will be moving on to new opportunities.Denis Murphy the vice commodore at the Sailing Club said, “Mike’s enthusiasm and direction led to increased activity and use of the Club, and over the last five years we have given thousands of children the experience of sailing in Cayman. Mike has been instrumental in building the youth programme and we would like to thank him for all his efforts.”

Raph Harvey, who has been coaching at CISC for almost two years, has accepted a promotion to the position of Lead Instructor and he, together with two new coaches will continue to provide a top class youth sailing programme in 2011.

Murphy said, “We would like to welcome Raph into his new role at the Club. Raph has shown outstanding dedication to the club since he started coaching and has built a great rapport with both students and parents. He is already coming up with some great new ideas on how to further develop the youth programme and we are excited about its future.”
