More About Long Island Team Racing Association, Inc.
How We Got Here
In the early 2000s a group of people got together and came up with the idea to promote Team Racing on Long Island.  Over the years this evolved into not only team racing, but focused more on "Team."  Team work, crewing, leadership and community service has all been incorporated into LITRAs activites. A large part of our Sailing Curriculum is spearheaded by the JY15 Snapper Inn Frostbite Fleet.  This fleet has been active on the Connetquot River for 25 years.  The members of LITRA also are involved in Community service Projects like the Annual Sachem Share Day, Local Blood Drive and beach and "put-in" clean ups.
Activities
Small Boat Team Work
Sailing a Small Boat takes skill and Team Work. Â Being able to communicate and work together is a skill that is absolutely necessary in sailing, especially when the temperatures drop to winter conditions. Participation, clinics and group discussions all help get people up to speed and proficiency.
Team Building
Sometimes a group will head to a bigger venue to work and create a bigger Team atmosphere. Â Sometimes crews of several people are needed to succeed. LITRA encourages this team work and understands that not only this helps with people in sailing, but in life outside of sailing.
Community Service
Our members are encouraged to participate in community service projects. Â Over the years several of our members organized blood drives, local clean ups and out reach programs to help the community.
