We have set up a special opportunity for your sailors to learn about a different type of sailboat: a J80. The J80 is typically a four person keel boat (instead of a retractable centerboard it has a fixed, lead weighted keel), with two sails.
The Best Boat Club of Fort Lauderdale http://www.fortlauderdaleboatrentals.com/membership.aspx is going to provide these boats to our team for free this Sunday, during regular practice hours. Sailors will have the opportunity to performs all of the duties of big boat sailing: skipper, crew, trimmer, grinder, foreman.
Sailors should meet at LYC at 1:30 in regular sailing attire. Commodore's and Intermediate sailors will ride in the Club's Whaler to Pier 66 with their coaches, sail the J80s in the ocean, and be back at LYC at 4:30. Feel free to call the sailing office if you have any questions...
