Spring registration & notes from parent meeting

Opti Families,

This weekend will be our last practices for the fall season.

Good luck to those of you competing at Orange Bowl next week! Thank you to the Rozzo’s and Moss’s for towing our coach boats! 

I wanted to give a summary of the parent meeting we had on December 15^th-

• Registration forms for the 2014 spring session is now available. They are found under program documents in the blog.

• The first week of practice will be January 7^th (Gold fleet) January 8^th (Silver fleet) and January 9^th (Green fleet). Week day practices are the same time from 3:30pm-6:30pm.

• The first weekend practice is on the 11^th and 12^th. The weekend schedule-

Prams-

Session A:  Jan 11^th-March 2^nd Saturday (beginners) 9am-11:30am Sunday (more experience and comfortable) 9am -11:30am.

Session B: March 4th-May 4th Saturday (beginners) 9am-11:30am Sunday (more experience and comfortable) 9am -11:30am.

Green Fleet-

Thursdays 3:30pm-6:30pm & Sunday 11:30am-4:30pm

Silver Fleet-

Wednesday 3:30pm-6:30pm, Saturday 11:30am-4:30pm & Sunday 9:30am-4:30pm

Gold Fleet-

Tuesday 3:30pm-6:30pm, Saturday 9:30am-4:30pm & Sunday 9:30am-4:30am

• It is important that all forms and fees are turned in before or at the first practice. We are getting a locked drop box located outside of the office so you can drop off checks and registration forms or you can mail them in. Note: your child will not be allowed to sail in practice until all fees are paid and forms are in.

• The accounting department is instituting a new policy. They need receivables and YSG past dues before the spring season. There will be an employee from accounting present for the first weekday practices (7^th, 8^th and 9^th) to make sure all dues are paid.

• There is an Opti workday on Sunday, January 12^th at 9:45am. This is designated for our green fleet sailors and our club boats. Any parents from other fleets are encouraged to bring their skills and help to the work day.

• We are now including a column in the regatta signup sheet for parent organizers and towers. We need 2-3 parents to tow and one parent organizer for each event. The parent organizer is in charge of planning, travel logistics, snacks, housing and other accommodations for a particular event.  All parents should take a turn towing and being the parent organizer for events.  When you sign your child up for the regatta write “yes” under the column if you want to volunteer to tow or to be parent organizer.

• The date of the first parent meeting of the spring season will be posted soon.

I hope everyone has a relaxing holiday. I look forward to seeing you all on the water next year!

Weekend 21st - 22nd

Hi Team.

If you are not going to any clinics this upcoming weekend, practice will be conducted as normal here at LYC. Joakim will coach the Advanced while Kyle will coach the Intermediates. Focus for the weekend will be on Orange Bowl. There will be sail trim in the classroom, speed testing and fleet race focus on the water.

Even if you are not going to Orange Bowl this is a great opportunity to get some more hours on the water before the holidays.

Mid-ship, Commodores, Intermediates and Advanced please RSVP to sailmaster@lyc.org so that we can get a head count for the weekend.


This will be the last weekend of practice.

Opti Photographs Update

This is a message from the photographer-

 

Midshipmen

1.      I only took photos of Sunday’s midshipmen group. The class on Saturday has different sailors – So I should do photos for the Saturday group as well. I can be there at 9 am tomorrow morn to take the photos.

2.      I will deliver the photos of Sunday’s midshipmen this Sunday at 9 am – that way I won’t miss the parents. (hopefully)

 

Commodores

1.      Since the commodores are at Jensen Beach - I can deliver the commodore photos on Sunday Dec 15^th or on their weekday practice if you think that would be better.

 

Thanks so much,

Darla

Thanks for towing!

Thank you to the following families for towing-

Sincerely,

trailer assignments & towing

Hello all,

A big thanks to the Tate's for volunteering to tow one of our coach boats to the J.O.s! We still need parents to tow two more boats. We will not be able to coach at the regatta without our boats.

The Opti trailer is parked outside the gate of the sailing center. We will be putting the rack on the truck tomorrow. I may have told some of you that it was first come first serve but I have decided to go back to assigning spots on the trailer so there are no conflicts. Assignments will be posted on trailer so please load your boat after practice.

We hope to see everyone at the Winter Sailing Banquet!
