I was down by the water when I saw a whole bunch of these sailing dinghy's go by, each one skippered by a youngster. I am assuming this is a sailing class from the yacht club. There was an instructor in an outboard boat shepherding them. These are Optimist Prams, one of the most popular boats used to train young sailors. And as you can see from this picture, one of the skippers is better than a bunch of the others, well ahead of the group.
Looks like a fun day. I remember seeing young people from Milford Yacht Club learning how to sail in the harbor.
