Fall 2019 Season Has Begun!

Volunteer Info, Practice Hours, Meet the Team

Volunteer Info:

For all parents, as we discussed at the meeting, with a much larger group of sailors we also have a lot of work to do to keep the team up and running. To do that, we have divided ourselves into 3 Committees.

1. Finance Committee: To join or for more info, contact Lynne Morano lsgarlato@gmail.com

Plan and Coordinate SCS’s fundraising activities, including any sailor led activities (as an example some of sailors handed out watermelon for donations at a recent adult regatta), a fundraising event for current and new sponsors later this fall, and outreach to potential new community sponsors.

2. Regatta Committee: To join or for more info, contact Chris Mohrman mohrman.christopher@gmail.com

If anyone has towing capacity and ability for the regattas that is key for our Sailing Director to know for planning. Generally we need to be towing 4 trailers to each regatta. The Regatta Committee will also coordinate teams for loading and unloading boats and trailer maintenance. There are 5 regattas each semester that SCS participates in as a team.

3. Social Committee: To join or for more info, contact Kara Mathews karamathews@ymail.com

Plan and coordinate social events for the team. The major event is an end of semester party for each semester, and then potential team outings or 420 or bic group outings as the Committee may establish! The sailors always have a blast when they get together.

Thank you very much! See you on the water.

Space Coast Sailing – Meet the Team

The Indian River Lagoon is a perfect place to sail for recreation or competition.

The Space Coast Sailing Team is underway to provide opportunities for young people to enjoy and improve at the sport of sailing. All participants must demonstrate adequate swimming skills and comfort in the water. The ability to right a capsized boat will be required.

Mission Statement

Space Coast Sailing will provide safe and positive opportunities for young people to experience the sport of sailing, and provide an infrastructure for increased learning and enjoyment.
