Hi everyone! My name is Alice Donahue and I am thrilled to be returning to HYC as director for the 2026 season. I am from Yarmouth, ME and I grew up cruising the coast of Maine with my family and then started sailing Optis at Centerboard Yacht Club when I was 8 years old. I have been coaching at HYC since 2023 and so excited to be returning this summer. I am currently an International Political Economy major at Colorado College. I am looking forward to another incredible summer out on Casco Bay with you all!
Hi everyone! My name is Finn Marianski, and I’m excited to be back at HYC this summer. I’m from Yarmouth, ME and have been sailing at HYC since I was a Guppie! Sailing has been a huge part of my life ever since then. I’ll be attending Dartmouth College next fall, where I plan to study engineering while staying connected to the outdoors. I’m really looking forward to another great summer of sailing with everyone!
Hi all! I’m James Hartnett and I’m very excited to be returning for my eighth summer sailing at HYC, and fourth as an instructor. I’ve grown up through the program going from a recruit to opti and 420 race teams to now coaching and mentoring. To me there’s no feeling like a warm summer day cruising around Casco Bay. I just finished my junior year at Yarmouth High School where I ran cross country and played tennis. Can’t wait to see you on the water!
