KEEPING A BOAT IN NORTHERN SPAIN by Roy Seaton

CSC Clubhouse Thursday 12th September  at 19.30

Agenda

1. Racing – classes for keelboats and dinghies
   • Start sequence for races
   • Safety Cover: Is safety cover required for YTC Races? For summer series it is provided for Wed (dinghy races). But volunteer availability is short. If safety cover is so required, possible solutions could be:
     • Institute reciprocal arrangements whereby YTC competitors provide safety and race officer cover for dinghies, and dinghy sailors provide safety cover for YTC
   • Autumn series: Sunday afternoons 8th September- 27th October
   • Frosty Series:  Sunday afternoons 3rd November – 24th November
2. Regatta
   • We assume convenorship of BLYC from 2024
3. Cruises
4. Provision for youth sailors
5. Speakers’ Nights
6. Training opportunities
7. Events
   • RS400 Irish National Championship
   • GP14 Ulster Championship
8. Opportunities for Volunteering
