Lauderdale Yacht Club regrets to inform our members, guests, and participants in the various sailing and waterfront activities at the club that our Sailing Director Philip Muller has tendered his resignation. Philip has advanced from a green fleet coach to the leader and head of all sailing activities at LYC. Our club’s youth program is one of the largest and most diverse in North America and under Philip’s oversight, LYC has garnered acclaim and respect throughout the sailing community. From consistently training world-level optimist sailors and Olympians to enrolling a broad-based entry-level green fleet class, Philip has created a very special success story. His tireless work ethic, balanced attitude towards fun and competition, and solid relationships with our sailors will be extremely difficult to replace. We wish him well in his next endeavor; his last day at LYC will be November 3, 2013.
A Search Committee has been formed in order to identify and recruit the next Sailing Director at LYC. For the short term, the depth of our coaching and administrative staff will help insure that all practices, programs, and logistics support will be seamlessly covered. The fleet captain and the individual fleet chairmen have commenced a detailed examination of all upcoming events on the calendar to expand current coaching roles and responsibilities so that our athletes are provided the tools needed to achieve their personal sailing objectives and goals. Juan Carlos Romero, Chris Dold, Julia Melton, Colin Page, Kyle Pond, Corey Page, Hunter Cambone, and guest coach Joakuim Carlson (arriving November 2) are all extremely qualified in their respective roles. Our coaching staff is unparalleled and there is no doubt that this Fall season will surpass previous years’ participation and results.
We have multiple events planned for the upcoming months and procedures to insure our participants receive the same quality coaching, training, support and organization are being planned and implemented immediately. Philip has pledged to assist in the process and knowing his character, our programs will smoothly transition in the upcoming weeks. – Fleet Captain Tom Lihan
