Hello, Commodore's Fleet
parents, I'm Bob Meagher, the chairman of the LYC Opti Committee. We have
a group of seven committee members (listed at the end) who work to make sure
the program runs smoothly and lines of communication stay open. If at any
time you have a question, please don't hesitate to contact any one of us at our
addresses and cell phones below.
Communication &
Optiblog
Experience has shown that
e-mail lists quickly become incomplete, can annoy recipients with "Reply
All" syndrome, and leave us searching our Deleted Items for last-month's
critical information. We have created a blog page located at http://lycoptis.blogspot.com/ that
solves this problem. Please Sign Up on the right side to receive e-mails of every blog post
the morning after they're posted. This is the simplest and most
comprehensive way for the coaches and committee to communicate with all LYC
Opti sailors. Also, useful documents and links are located throughout the
site -- explore away! Note, if you don't sign up, you'll miss important
info throughout the season, so please join us. Thanks. (P.S. -- for
archive purposes, this e-mail will be posted to the blog, so if you're signed
up, you'll receive it again tomorrow morning.)
Repeat
Parent's Meeting This Sunday
Following the
success of last weekend's Parents' Meeting, Lisa Jones is leading another on
this Sunday, immediately after the kids launch (2:15ish) for the people who
couldn't make it. Please come learn about how to handle boats and sails,
upcoming regattas & parties, gear, and more.
Fort Myers
River Romp
The first regatta
of the season is around the corner (October 19 & 20) and your kid will love
it! The River Romp is a decade-old tradition and a great first regatta
for aspiring Green Fleeters. The races are held very close to shore in
protected waters on the river in Ft. Myers, perfect for first-timers. A
dozen of you have signed up already, and all Commodores Fleet kids should take
the leap -- but if you have reservations, please contact the sailing office at
954-527-2223. If you haven't already done so, please register for the regatta here and sign
up here on the LYC page here. Green Fleeter boats like yours get
first priority on the LYC Trailer, which you'll load Thursday night (17th)
after practice. This is a great way to do something quick and fun as a
family, as well as spend some time with other parents new to the program -- or
many years into it. Ask more about it this Sunday, but make your plans
now!
Naples Cup Regatta
The second fun regatta of the
season is the Naples Cup Regatta with the legendary party many of you have
heard about. Unfortunately, we received word yesterday that the beach
renourishment project underway in Naples is causing the cancellation of the
regatta this year for its scheduled date of November 9 & 10. We are
working on a suitable replacement, but if you booked rooms in Naples, cancel
before your deadline, and stay tuned for the alternate plan.
Private Coaching
Is your sailor really into it
and can't get enough? Or has some hesitancy that some one-on-one
instruction can erase? We have numerous private coaches of all different
personalities ready to help. Ask the Sailing Office
Head's Up
The Championship and
Intermediate Gold fleets are having a Joint Practice with the Coral Reef Yacht
Club team this weekend. On Sunday afternoon pickup, the Sailing Center
area will be a little more crowded than usual.
We look forward to seeing you
at the Sailing Center, and at Ft. Myers.
Thanks.
