PARENT'S MEETING RECAP

Thanks to those of you who attended last weekend's Commodore's Fleet parent's meeting. Here are some notes on what you missed if you weren't there.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Lauderdale Yacht Club junior sailing program offers instruction at every level for sailors 5-18 years old in the Optimist, 420, and Laser classes. The fleet levels are listed below.
Optimist > Pram, Commodore's, Intermediate Silver, Gold, Championship
420 > Learn to Race, Varsity Race
Laser > Ocean Team, Hi-Performance Team

EQUIPMENT
your sailor has been assigned a complete Optimist set (sail, spars, blades, hull) for the season. Assignment lists are available. your sailor is responsible for the care of his or her equipment.
*LYC owned boats and sailors are numbered (stickers on the boat) and labeled (green dots on the sail).



All equipment is to be stored at LYC, unless it is being transported to or from a regatta.
Boats are to be racked on the northernmost (right) side of the Opti rack. Sails and blades are stored in the garage in designated areas.


REGATTAS
We encourage your sailor to participate in regional, LYC supported events once he or she is ready. If you aren't sure, ask a coach. Regattas are typically weekend events (full days). LYC will transport your sailor's equipment, provide coaching, and a coach boat. (LYC does not make arrangements for sailor travel or lodging). If you need more information about how to register for an event, read previous postings below, or give us a call 954-527-2223.

PARENT HELP
Parents are politely asked to assist their sailor (and others) with bringing boats off the storage racks. Once the boat is down, sailors should be able to rig independently. Coaches will circulate the fleet to assist sailors with rigging.
