2008 Youth Sailing: 420 - Doublehanded

Interclub Youth Sailing Regattas 2008

Provisional Calendar of events 5 May 2008

CHILD PARTICIPATION IN INTERCLUB REGATTAS:

If you would like your child to take part in these fun regattas, please let Charley Williamson or Trevor French know as soon as possible.
Transport of kids is generally done by parents, so let us know very soon whether you can help.
Kids need to take food with them for lunch and on-water drinks.
We will send at least one Instructor, along with volunteer parents, as a part of the IYC Team !
The Instructor will take extra boats, if not available to borrow from the host club, and if not taken by parents

420 - DOUBLEHANDED (plus Lasers - if parents can transport)
Regattas mostly on TUESDAYS. (except as noted). Often we sail the boats of the host club, so we do not often trail our own 420's. Our Head Instructor needs to negotiate use of boats ahead of time. Parents who are able to volunteer to transport kids - please let us know as soon as possible.

** Sodus Bay YC - Centrals NY Regatta (CNYSA)
This is held over the weekend. 420's, Lasers, Opties are a component of this event. Opties race only on the Saturday. Parents are responsible for attending this regatta, but possibly we can coordinate a group and coach to this event.

**Sodus Bay YC- Area Qualifiers for Bemis-Smythe and Sears Cups.
These are qualifiers for prestigious national youth sailing cups (in Singlehanded, Doublehanded and Triplehanded boats). If kids compete in a Qualifier, they must be prepared to go to all the Qualifiers and indeed the Nationals. Guidelines of how to compete in these regattas can be found on the web site for US Sailing (Youth):

http://www.ussailing.org/youth/

It will be necessary for a child to be a member of US Sailing to compete in these regattas. Find out more from the US Sailing Web site, but also ask Brad Buell (Sec for CNYSA):

Contact Brad Buell (IYC and CNYSA) to ask for guidelines

* Rochester YC Junior Olympics (Fri-Sun)
Junior Olympics is a 3-day event. Friday is coaching Clinic and training and fun events. Sat-Sun is a regatta. You can go for just the Friday if you like, and choose whether to do the regatta afterwards. Parents are responsible for attending this regatta, but possibly we can coordinate a group and coach to this event.
