  • 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.

With a fleet of six Club-owned Ideal 18s, the NBC has the most comprehensive adult sailing program of any sailing club on the Hudson River. In addition to recreational sailing, we have clinics on weekdays and weekends and casual sailing or competitive racing. We plan to add family events during the season and participate in nearby Ideal 18 regattas. Our vision is for the NBC Ideal 18 fleet to create opportunities for members who are boat owners and non-boat owners alike to pursue social enjoyment of the NBC and development of their pleasure sailing and/or racing skills. This handbook is intended to give you information on the various aspects of the program. You may have other questions and we encourage you to contact the Ideal 18 Committee to answer them.

  • An Ideal American Summer Ideal 18 Program
    An Ideal American Summer Ideal 18 Program SAILING DIRECTOR FLEET CAPTAIN Kevin Broome Carolyn Russell [email protected] [email protected] 914.815.2434 203.962.5939 AMERICAN YACT CLUB –IDEAL 18 PROGRAM Be part of an exciting sailing program that is convenient, fun and has something for everyone. Sign out an Ideal 18 and be sailing in less than 10 minutes. Take family and friends out for a cruise and see Rye from the water. Learn or brush up on your sailing skills with the Women’s Sailing Program, Saturday morning clinics, or a private lesson with the Sailing Director. Join our Thursday Evening Series for casual non-spinnaker racing, or try team racing. THE PROGRAM The Ideal 18 program is a great way for all club members to meet each other at the club and to introduce their families and friends to the joy of sailing. Big boat owners often enjoy a quick evening sail without the need to arrange for crew, and the racer can experience more starts on a Thursday evening than in a month of weekend regattas. The season runs from mid-April through October, and the boats are available seven days a week from 0800 till sunset. The Ideal 18 is a fantastic keelboat day-sailor that is stable and not intimidating for the beginner, yet it still provides a stimulating sail for one-design racing. The boats are easily sailed single handed yet comfortably seat four adults. They are raced with two people. The program’s annual family membership fee is $195 ($175 if you sign up by Friday, May 30).
