Oct 3, 2020 Free! Fun sail day

ETYSA 2020 Fall Fun Sail Day #1

ETYSA Members:

The ETYSA board has been working diligently with the board of Blackbeard Sailing Club to develop COVID appropriate opportunities for fall sailing for ETYSA member kids.  We have now developed criteria which will allow us to sponsor at BSC, at no cost to members, several structured “fun” sail days, as well as a “boat loaner” program for qualified members to check out and use ETYSA boats on their own.  All activities will be subject to the criteria approved by both boards, but will allow us to get out on the water and start sailing again!!!  The first of these fun sail days will be on Saturday, October 3, from 1pm - 4pm, at BSC.  There will be no charge for this event, but space is limited to 10 ETYSA members. Participants must have previously attended at least one week of camp with ETYSA, and space is available on a first come, first served basis.  All attendees will have an opportunity for a refresher course in rigging the ETYSA boats that will be used in the fall program (Europti, Topaz, and 420) and, weather permitting, go sailing!  Sailors will also be given an opportunity to qualify for approval to check out and use boats pursuant to the fall fun sailing program rules.  Interested?  Sign up for the Oct 3 fun day is now open! n

We plan to hold additional fun sail days in the coming weeks; we look forward to seeing everyone on the water!

Note:  All participants will be required to wear appropriate face coverings while on land, and will be subject to a safety health check prior to start.  Appropriate social distancing will be required.  Participants will need to bring their own water, life jacket, appropriate clothing and shoes, face covering, safety whistle, and sunscreen.
