  • Parent/Sailor Manual
    PARENT/SAILOR MANUAL Dear Parents and Sailors, Welcome to the LBYC Summer Sailing Program! Our goal for the summer is to instill a lifelong appreciation for sailing and yacht racing by creating an environment that promotes sportsmanship, safety, and the fun of being on the water. This manual provides valuable information on boat safety, necessary gear, daily events and much more. Please take the time to thoroughly read it with your sailor as it’s very important that rules and expectations are understood by everyone participating in our program. An agreement on the last page must be signed by each parent and sailor prior to the first day of the program. Everyone will be much better prepared for this summer’s activities after reading this manual. If you have any questions or thoughts regarding any of the following information, please don’t hesitate to ask. If your call goes to voicemail during program hours, it means I am assisting another sailor or on the water. Please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I look forward to sharing a fantastic summer with both new and returning sailors!

  • Parent Resource Handbook
    Parent Resource Handbook 2091 Shelter Island Drive San Diego, CA 92106 619-222-1214 www.sgycjuniorsailing.org Dear Parents and Junior Sailors, On behalf of the Silver Gate Yacht Club and the Junior program staff and volunteers I want to welcome you to SGYC Junior sailing! An exciting summer of sailing, adventure, friendship, and fun awaits you whether you are a first-time sailor or are returning to continuing building your skills. We have worked hard to develop a youth sailing program that is fun, challenging, and safe. Our program is designed to teach solid sailing fundamentals, instill Corinthian spirit, and respect the marine environment. Our instructors are ready to challenge you to work hard, play hard and learn something new each day! There is tremendous satisfaction, pride and empowerment that come with learning to sail a boat on your own. This handbook has been designed to help you prepare for a great sailing experience and will also be a useful reference as your child progresses through the program. Learning to sail will be quite different than anything your kids have done before and the sport is loaded with unusual terms and equipment to learn about. We’ve included a lot of reference information in this guide that you can use with your kids. We are always looking for ways to improve what we do for the kids and an important way we gauge our success is by feedback from parents and our young sailors. Please contact me by phone or email with any comments, suggestions or issues you may have.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.
