Peninsula Youth Sailing Foundation (PYSF) is a non-profit 501c (3) organization that was formed in the year 2000. The primary mission of PYSF is to coach, teach and nurture youth sailors in the Bay Area. From its inception, PYSF has been dependent on the support of volunteers for its success. Many of the middle school and high school sailors in PYSF have developed into some of the top sailors in the Bay Area, the West Coast, or have even become some of the top sailors in the US. The Opti Program at PYSF, is focused on younger sailors, between 7 and 15 years old, and is intended to help teach them to sail or to develop their sailing skills to allow them to sail with other youth sailors at PYSF or in the Bay Area.
