Special Events for 2011
Big Boat Sailing
We are planning to have one or two events where all juniors can experience an evening on bigger boats. The moonlight sails provided much enjoyment and learning the last few summers, and we are planning on providing the juniors with a similar experience this year.
Social
We will have dances or cookouts, one each session. The students will pick a theme for each dance, and there will prizes for the best costume (for the theme) and the best dancers. Students from each session will be invited to both dances.
Season Awards Banquet
The awards banquet will be determined for the week of August 14th at a later date.
Independent Sailing
When a junior has achieved a certain achievement level, they will be allowed to take out the junior boats (weather permitting) on their own when they are not being used for classes. The specific rules for this are being defined and MUST:
Have a buddy boat
Be in before sunset
Get permission from someone in charge
Stay in a predefined area
The allowed predefined areas will be based on their Achievement Level. This will provide the juniors the opportunity to show off what they have learned to their friends as they will be allowed to bring a guest who is not be enrolled in the program.
O'Day Day Sailor
Take your parents out for a sail. Those Juniors who have achieved at least the Skippers rating will be eligible to rent the Newport Yacht Club’s 18 foot O’Day sailor, after being certified on that vessel by one of the Sailing Instructors.
The O’Day sailor is available for Newport Yacht Club members (including Junior members who have achieved at the Skippers rating) for rent by the hour. Reservations must be made in advance, and there is a standard charge for being checked out on that vessel).
The checkout certification includes:
Tacking, Jibing, getting into and out of irons, docking, and generally demonstrating that you can sail the vessel safely.
