Steve Snider, Stephen Gent and Skeeter Chilton lead the Catalina 22 Junior Advanced, Junior Beginners and Adult classes respectively. The team trained Doug Lewis over 40 sailors of all ages and abilities. Tucky Patz helped coordinate snacks for the 694-9044 juniors. The team trained over 40 sailors of all ages and abilities. Stuart Bernd, Mark [email protected] Patz and Steve Goff were instrumental in assisting the coaches. A job well done on all fronts! Being new to the training program, one of the issues that created significant issues Fred Morgan through the process is the inability to understand how many students will attend each 245-6419 of the sessions. [email protected] This lack of fore knowledge presents problems scheduling boats, instructors, activ - ities, t-shirts and training material. This year’s late decision to not participate in +95 Fleet/Sunfish Growing Up Sailing (GUST) compounded these issues. In addition, being a novice Steve Snider in the training programs at WSC, I was also challenged with planning and coordinat - 242-3192 ing the activities. [email protected] In an effort to help facilitate the training program organization next year, several very specific deadlines will be implemented. These deadlines are designed to encourage C27/25 early enrollment which will lead to early decisions on how many instructors, how many Allene Donley boats, how many t-shirts, etc. In order to facilitate this, the training schedule must be 744-8656 completed earlier as well. [email protected] The training calendar will be completed by the end of February to be published in the March Windword and on the website’s training page. Training registrations must Santana 20 be received no later than April 15, 2010. Registrations received between April 15, IV McNamara 2010 and May 15, 2010 will be charged a $20 late fee. Registrations will not be 408-1603 accepted after May 15, 2010.

A quote from Skeeter: “It takes a small village and a lot of canoes to run a regatta well. On the water working: 24 people, 8 boats and 11 marks.” This includes several folks who worked one day of the two. Yes, this took a lot of resources, but again the Spirit of Windycrest was shining through and has proven equal to the task of meeting the USODA’s very high standards. Pat yourselves on the back, and rest up for the MC Nationals!
