    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.

    Lake Michigan Surf Newsletter the E-Publication of the Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation

    Lake Michigan Sail Racing Federation December 2012 Issue 12 Lake Michigan SuRF Newsletter LMSRF IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE ... A NEW WEB SITE by Glenn T. McCarthy, Commodore www.lmsrf.org LMSRF's web page for the past ten years was the organization's second generation web site and had grown very long in the tooth. Chuck Goes, whom some of you know from Belmont Yacht Club or from his Race Committee work, volunteered to help LMSRF build a new web site. Chuck’s day job is web hosting and design, along with computer consulting, at his company, Digital Interplay (contact Chuck at [email protected] or at 773.743.9843 if you are in need of help for your own business). We chose the platform of Joomla!, as this web site software allows our volunteers to make changes anywhere, anytime, without needing anything more than an internet connection. Users don’t need any special software to make updates and changes. The goals of the new web site are simple, to make it easier to navigate (check), make it easier to maintain by assigning committee chairs the pages they are responsible for maintaining (check, check), add a bit of fun with links to Maritime Museums and Lighthouses (check), but most importantly to make it easier for you to get what you need (big check). Examples of this last one are that you will find applications for Grants-In-Aid and the Hall of Fame on the web site, along with the requirements of both programs. With over 60 pages of information, we hope you find it informative, helpful and will help your club and/or foster your own sailing.

  • Clubmember Handbook

    Clubmember Handbook

    Rochester Canoe Club Handbook October 2012 Established in 1881 Rochester’s Oldest Sailing Club Sunfish Thistle Optimist JY-15 Important Information The Rochester Canoe Club (RCC) has a long and colorful history dating back to 1881. During that time a lot of club traditions, events, and ways of doing things have evolved. Until now that knowledge came from our constitution and by- laws or has been passed on mostly by word of mouth. This handbook is an attempt to put the information in one place, as both an aid to new members and a refresher for the “old timers”. Going forward we hope this handbook will serve as “the source” for written RCC information and we will try to keep it up to date. Special thanks go out to everyone who wrote things down over the years; a lot of that information was used to create this handbook. Please save your copy of the handbook. It contains information which generally does not change from year to year, therefore it will only be updated and re-distributed when needed. Seasonal information such as the club calendar and the listing of the club officers will continue to be published annually in the RCC Directory. The Rochester Canoe Club Board of Governors October 2012 1 Revision history: Last revision distributed to the RCC membership was November 2011 Changes since last distribution: August 6, 2000 Revised the “Brief History of RCC” section on page 1 April 14, 2010 Bylaws modified in accordance with the constitution. September 16, 2010 Many revisions, but not modifying the history, bylaws or constitution sections.
