Cayman Islands Sailing Club Hosts Olympic Opening Ceremonies
The Cayman Islands Sailing Club, (CISC) the national sailing authority of the Cayman Islands is inviting the public to an Open Day and Watch Party for the Opening Ceremonies of the Paris2024 Summer Olympics live at their clubhouse in Red Bay on Friday, July 26, 2024 at 1pm.
The Open Day and Watch party is hosted by the CISC Executive Committee to promote new membership, learn to sail, celebrate our Olympians, and to help the public be aware of the location of the National Sailing Centre in Red Bay, 244 Spinnaker Drive on North Sound.
The communications officer for the Sailing Club, Polly Pickering stated, “We want to invite young and old to try sailing and to join our club. We are also very excited to have recently sent six of our youth sailors to compete internationally. Over these past few weeks, we have been represented at sailing world championships and regional regattas in Italy, Portugal, and Long Island New York USA and now for Charlotte Webster to be taking the stage at the Paris Olympics 2024 is a testimony to our clubs commitment to youth sailing. It is truly amazing and Charlottes dedication over the past 4 years has been outstanding. We join the whole island with cheering her on and wish all our Cayman athletes the very best in France.”
“The CISC also wishes to celebrate Cayman Olympians Swimmers, Jordan Crooks and Jillian Crooks, and Track and Field Davonte Howell’s upcoming participation in the 2024 Olympics in France. These four Olympians will represent the Cayman Islands at the Opening Ceremonies in Paris and we could not be any prouder of all of them.”
For the first time in the history of the Olympic Summer Games, the Opening Ceremony will not take place not in a stadium but on the water. The Paris Opening Ceremony is set to be held on the Seine River. The parade of athletes will be held on the Seine with boats for each national delegation. These boats will be equipped with cameras to allow television and online viewers to see the athletes up close.
The Sailing Club Friday afternoon festivities kick off from 1pm and will offer lunch for purchase on site with Murph’s Kitchen and refreshments will also be available for purchase. The afternoon activities will include sailing opportunities as well. Dinghy sailboats will be available for sailing with assistance provided by several of the Cayman Islands Youth Sailing Team members. General information on CISC summer camp registration, and CISC learn to sail lessons, along with membership opportunities will also be available from the coaches and staff on site.
The timing of the Paris 2024 Opening ceremonies viewing is scheduled to be 1:30 pm for the live event and a happy hour second viewing of the recording will be held later the same day at 6:30 pm at the clubhouse.
