Dear
Thank you for your interest in the BYC Youth Sailing Program. Enclosed you will find a program announcement describing the classes. If you need more information, call Mike Knight at 405-0678 or Mark Danielsen at 692-6102 ext 243. Mike is the Sail Education Chairman. Mark is in charge of registration.
Also enclosed you will find a set of registration forms. To register a student for the program, please complete the Registration Information, Participant's Statement of Understanding and Parent's Consent, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement. Send them along with your payment to the address shown above.
We place great emphasis on safety and how to stay safe on the water. We require that all students be swimmers before enrolling. Everyone, students, instructors and staff are required to wear their life jackets at all times when on the water. Some students will capsize - tip over and fall into the water - as a normal part of learning to sail. The students' boats float even when capsized. Students will be taught to stay with their boat, how to right it, reboard and sail away. Students should always bring a change of clothes, they learn better when they are dry. We also require appropriate footwear at all times.
As soon as we are able to confirm a place in the class you desire, we will mail a Program Confirmation with additional details about the program.
Thank you for your interest. We look forward to your involvement.
Sincerely,
Mark Daniels
Registrar
