Setting Sail with New Leadership: Meet Matt and Samantha Preddy!

We are thrilled to announce that Matt and Samantha Preddy will be taking the helm of our Junior Sailing Program for the 2026 season! Many thanks to Bill and Layne Brown for their years of leadership and guidance with the Junior Sailing Program.

The Preddys come to us with a deep passion for the water and a commitment to fostering the next generation of sailors. Matt grew up taking sailing lessons at WRYC and he and Samantha’s children are current students. Whether your junior sailor is just learning to rig a boat or is looking to sharpen their competitive edge, Matt and Samantha are dedicated to creating a fun, safe, and skill-building environment for all ages.

They are already hard at work preparing for a fantastic summer on the water. Please join us in giving them a warm welcome when you see them around!
