BEING PART OF A TEAM : All of us who have served have been through the bonding process required to make a combat ready team - that process instills in us something few understand. Some of us have been through it multiple times. Joining a new unit, being dropped into a class, reporting aboard, showing up at a qualification school, we have all been uncomfortable for a little while and then we hit our stride. We work together. We bond. We become a team.
Joining the Team allows you to register for events. No experience is required. The key is if you sign-up, show up!
The Basics: What to Expect WEEKLY RACING: This is a great way to get started. Crew meet after the work day for an evening of recreational "racing", normally followed by a community social at the local yacht club. Never sailed? Not a problem. We will slowly integrate you and teach you as we go. Certification Training: We offer American Sailing Association courses at no-cost to participating Veterans; host dedicated training sails, skills development days, and offer ASA 101, 103, 104, 105 Testing. Separately, we annually offer U.S. SAILING/World Sailing Safety-at-Sea Training and Certifications for Veterans and their spouses. REGATTAS: Normally over weekends (and often include Fridays) We will build a team of 5-15 crew (boat dependent), bring you together at the starting location, break the ice and integrate you into the team. Some events will have dedicated training and other are performance crew and learn as you go. We can enter multiple boats at different performance levels. These events are a great way to quickly improve your skills. OFFSHORE RACES will require more safety training, navigation training, and offshore sailing miles as a crew. For these events crews will prepare and train together for the event, ensuring the team is ready. |
