2017 Sailing Programs

The Lake Beulah Sailing School, Inc. (LBSS) is a not-for-profit organization providing sailing and tennis instruction. Programs are presented at the Lake Beulah Yacht Club, located at N9220 East Shore Drive in East Troy. Programs are designed to provide students with an appreciation of the pleasures of sailing and tennis as both leisure-time and competitive activities; to develop a high degree of competence in the handling and maintenance of equipment; and to teach the importance of sportsmanship, team play, and respect for property. Lessons are offered at various levels from novice to experience for children and young adults ages 6 to 70. Students who sign up for more than one class will only pay for the more expensive class.

Youth night – Many Thursday nights, youth sailors and their families gather at LBYC for social and informative reasons. A dinner is prepared by families who volunteer to supply the meal for that evening for a nominal fee.

OPTIMIST DINGHY COURSES

Green Fleet Optimist – Fee: $450

This class will teach basic sailing skills and introductory racing including knots, rigging and basic seamanship. Students learn how to complete a sailing course around marks including starts. Participants in this class may, with instructor permission, compete in LBYC coached races. It is anticipated that most members of this class will receive instructor permission to race during the month of July. Students must have either completed 2nd grade, or completed 1st grade and have previously completed Learn to Sail or Kinder pram, to enroll in this class. Green Fleet Optimist students may sail Optis owned by the LBSS and will not be assessed a rental fee or they may bring their own optimist. Classes will be held indoors in the event of inclement weather. For those interested in sailing on Friday nights, a Green Fleet series is hosted by the LBYC at 5:45 pm. In the event that LBSS optimists have been in use for a Friday afternoon class, boats may be left rigged for use in the Friday evening races. Please confirm your needs with instructors in advance. Parents should be on-site at the LBYC for the Friday night races to assist their child in rigging, launching, landing, and de-rigging the boat.

Red/White/Blue Optimist – Fee: $550

This course is recommended for sailors who have both completed 2nd grade and completed “Green Fleet” Optimist. Students in this class will learn beginning racing techniques and seamanship skills. Students will be instructed how to rig his/her boat and become a self-reliant sailor. Students also will learn rules, tactics and proper sailing techniques.

Classes meet at the LBYC for 3 hour sessions. Please consult your schedule for times and dates. For details, see below Red, White, and Blue Fleet coaching will be available at specified regattas for Red/White/Blue optimist students. Please refer to the calendar for class times and dates. See http://www.usoda.org for additional information regarding Opti fleets, regatta fleet colors, etc.

Other Events for Optimist Sailors

The Lake Beulah Yacht Club (LBYC) sponsors three racing series for the Optimist sailor. A coached Friday early evening series for Green Fleet, a Weekend Championship Series (Red, White & Blue Fleet), and an uncoached weekend Optimist Green Fleet offer parents and students a variety of opportunities to participate. LBSS also offers the LBSS Optimist Regatta for Opti sailors of all levels. Other regional regattas are available and are listed on the LBSS calendar. Entry forms for these and other events are available through LBSS.

Racing: Green Fleet students are encouraged to participate in the Friday night Green Fleet Series. LBSS instructors/advanced students will be available for consultation around these races. Please note that no Red/White/Blue Opti racers will be on the water during the Green Fleet Series so it is a low-key place for intermediates to start racing. Opti Rentals for use during these races are available for use on a first come, first served basis. Many will already be rigged from the Friday afternoon classes, and parents are required to put boats away at the end of the race. The LBSS Optimist Regatta, Kaszube Cup - Green, ILYA No Tears and Pram Power are some of the local regattas which Green Fleet sailors may attend.

Red/White/Blue should not be racing on Friday nights, but instead are encouraged to race in the LBYC Weekend Championship Series races. As noted previously, Red/White/Blue sailors are also encouraged to compete in the following regattas: LBSS Opti, Junior Olympics, GLSS Opti, Kaszube, USODA Midwest Champs, ILYA Champs, and the USODA Nationals.

To participate in LBYC sponsored races, children must be a member of the LBYC. A membership in LBYC is necessary to cover insurance and trophy costs. A youth (Junior) membership to LBYC in the amount of $50 is available for children under 17 who participate in youth sailing activities. Contact Kathy Will at 642-5571 for details.

When weather conditions are inclement, classes may be held inside the yacht club, if appropriate. Classes may be canceled without prior notice.

Early in the season, elective private lessons may be scheduled for all skippers. Additionally, we have planned a one day clinic just before WYA X and ILYA X Championships.

Other Events for X Boat Sailors

Lake Beulah Yacht Club sponsors a weekday X series . This series is comprised of two daily races to be sailed either on Wednesday or Thursday afternoons. Race time is 1:30. All sailors are encouraged to participate in both races. Scoring for both races will determine placement in the Weekday Series Championships. The scores of the first race will also be scored independently to attain a Special Series winner. The top three finishers from the previous year’s LBYC X Championship Series will not be eligible to be scored for the Special Series. A weekend Championship series is also administered by LBYC. If your family is not a member of the LBYC, a youth membership ($50) is required to participate in these LBYC races. Contact Brian Brickler at 847-812-2052 for details.

LIABILITY WAIVER

The Lake Beulah Sailing School, Inc. (LBSS) is committed to conducting its programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in LBSS programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Lake Beulah Sailing School, Inc. continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that have been designed to protect the participants’ safety. Please recognize that the LBSS does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering themselves or family members for a program activity should review their own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make The Lake Beulah Sailing School, Inc. automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, execution of the following Waiver and Release is required. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully and be aware that in participating in the program(s) listed in the Registration Form, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of the program.
