Dear Member, The
dates for the Junior Sailing Course 2005 are: Monday 27th
June to Friday July 22rd inclusive.
Logbook requirements for Level 3 – 8 Races over 2 events
Logbook requirements for Level 4 Racing – 25 races (5 away), 15 as Helm. IMPORTANT: Please note the Logbook requirements for Level 3 and Level 4 Racing. Logbooks should be kept up to date and it is expected that Level 3 participants and upwards would be sailing regularly outside the Course. Sailing for Juniors starts in June (with training commencing in April) so there is plenty of opportunity to fulfil these minimum requirements. For away events sailors should consider competing in Lough Derg Annual Regatta or some of the many Regional events around the Country. Please consult the Club Programme for Junior Events throughout the year. Details of the syllabus for Advanced Sailing Skills Level 4 are in the logbooks – the skills covered within this course are similar to those required of the ISA Instructor Pre-Entry Assessment and those wishing to train as ISA Instructors at a later stage should ensure that they have these skills. Allocation of places will be on a “first come, first served” basis, as we have a limit on the number of participants appropriate to the facilities available at the premises. Priority will be given to children of existing members provided Applications and Fees are returned by the due date. Please note that the Executive Committee will have no tolerance for non-compliance with live-aboard berthing allocations. Participants may be requested to leave the course if they are involved in berthing disputes. For those wishing to hire a Pico from the Club for the Sailing Course please note that this year preference will be given to Level 1 or Level 2 participants. Before booking a place on the Course those wishing to sail Pico must have secured their place in a Pico by completing an Application Form and returning with appropriate fees to Denis Bergin at 27 Caislean Riada, Coosan, Athlone. Application Forms will be available on the Website www.lryc.ie or from Denis at 0872253190. A place in a Pico must be confirmed before sending in Course Application. All boats must be insured as per the Club rules and for Insurance reasons all sailors must be Club members. The Junior Subscription is €130 per child. Family Membership is €370 plus €100 entry fee and €50 development levy. N.B. A Junior Sub. is payable by a first-time sailor participating in the LRYC Sailing Course. A full Family Membership is required for all children wishing to participate for the second or more years. Membership Application Forms are available from the undersigned or from the Hon. Secretary, Ms. Georgina Kenny. The practice of having a parent on shore at all times is essential to the successful running of the Course. Parents of participants will be required to be in attendance on shore to supervise on at least one morning or afternoon, including lunchtime for each of their children sailing. If anyone has a boat to sell, rent or loan for the duration of the Sailing Course, please letme know as there are always people looking for boats, particularly beginner boats, at this time of the year. PLEASE
READ THE ENTIRE APPLICATION DOCUMENTATION CAREFULLY. John
