We still do not have approval to use the Naval Base. Hopefully by the end of the week!
Students wanting to skipper on the team should have previous experience in sailing small boats. Racing experience is assumed, but if your sailing skills are at a high level, prior racing in not required. You should be able to handle a small boat proficiently in 15 knots. We will be sailing 420s (no trapeze or spinnaker) so experience in comparable boats is best, but single-handed experience is okay, too.
Please e-mail me bousquej@chsvb.org if you plan on attending the session. When we finally get approval, we will meet at school at 3:00 p.m. Bring your USCG approved type III pfd, a change of clothes, in addition to your sailing clothes, and a towel. The school will provide helmets. We will use a mini-bus and go to the Naval Station sailing center and sail for a couple of hours. We should return to school by 6:30.
