Race Crew Request

If you are interested in crewing on a race boat owned or skippered by a member of Shoreline Yacht Club fill out the Race Crew Request form (see link below).  The purpose of the form is to gather some basic information about you, your sailing and/or racing experience and your availability.  We will then get your information to the various skippers who might be looking for crew on different races.

Seminars

As part of our overall goal of More Boats On The Water, the Race Management Committee has the following seminars scheduled for 2013:


Saturday, January 12th 13:00 to 16:00 – Racing Rules of Sailing
            Effective January 1, 2013 a revised set of Racing Rules of Sailing (RRS) will be in effect from US Sailing.  For new racers, come and learn the rules or for those that have been racing awhile come dust off what you know and hear about the latest revisions.

Saturday, March 2nd 13:00 to 16:00 – Basic Race Management
            Race Management is integral to an effective racing program and a whole lot of fun.  As with any new venture, knowing what you are doing makes your commitment of time more enjoyable and valuable. So join us to learn the basics of race management and then get out on a committee boat for a racing event.

Saturday, April 13th 13:00 to 16:00 – Racing Strategy
             Knowing the Racing Rules in critical, but having an effective strategy for racing is equally important if you want to race well and have fun.  Simple questions like: where should I set my boat up for the start will be answered.  In three hours we likely won’t get you ready to race against the Oracle entry in the America’s Cup but you will be better prepared for your next race!
