Sail Newport will dedicate the building at 60 Fort Adams Drive as the Jason Titunik Racing Education Center.
The building at the sailing center in Fort Adams State Park, was the original main office of Sail Newport, and it has recently been fully remodeled for use by racing sailors in Sail Newport programs, and for racing education. The event will take place on Wednesday, June 24, at 2 p.m. at 60 Fort Adams Drive, Newport.
Jason Titunik (2004 - 2023) started sailing in Sail Newport's Youth Program at an early age and advanced to compete in the Brenton Cove Racing Program. He loved spending summer days rigging, racing, learning, and having fun on and off the water with his friends and coaches at Sail Newport. His kindness, joyful spirit, and infectious smile will long be remembered by all who knew him. He tragically died in a car accident in 2023.
"We are confident that the Jason Titunik Racing Education Center will inspire sailors of all ages to embrace and excel at sailing and racing, just as Jason did," says Eve Formisano, director of development for Sail Newport.
The event is open to the public, and RSVPs can be made here. For more information, call Sail Newport, telephone (401) 846-1983.
