GBCA Discussion Forum

Registration is now open.  Don't miss the Kick-Off Party, February 25, 4 pm, at Lakewood Yacht Club.

The Safety Seminar will NOT be a US Sailing seminar.  Instead, it will be a LYC event focussing on safety and navigation for the Gulfport Race.  Attendance by 30% of the crew but not less than two crewmembers is required.

The Gulfport Race Safety Seminar on April 14 will NOT be a US Sailing sanctioned seminar.  While the seminar will cover many of the same subjects as are addressed in a US Sailing Safety at Sea seminar, the Gulfport Safety Seminar will be more focused on that race and safety and navigational issues specific to it than a general US Sailing seminar.  Attendance at the LYC Gulfport Safety Seminar by 30% of the crew, but not less than two crewmembers from each boat in the race, will be required for the 2012 Gulfport Race.  The seminar is provided FREE of charge.  I am hopeful that LYC can host a US Sailing sanctioned seminar next year that will address issues of safety at sea more generally applicable to all offshore sailing rather than any one race.  Stay tuned for an announcement on that event.
