Interest meeting on May 30th

An interest meeting was held after the English exam. The following folks attended:

Skippers:

Crews:



It is the hope that we we start practice in July this summer. All participants need to have a current physical on file with the athletic director before trying out or practicing. Team members must be good swimmers - capsize drills will be conducted the first day. The school will provide the helmets but students must own a type III p.f.d. and bring it every day to practice.  I own and recommend the West Marine "medalist" https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--medalist-life-jackets--P008_240_007_508?recordNum=38



Students who have experience in sailing are preferred. Helms are needed as skippers; novices can act as crews. The boats we use are weight sensitive and smaller students will be faster than heavier students.
