CHECK LIST for the FIRST DAY OF CLASS

Adult Program

Class is about to start.

Begin leaving your "sailing stuff" in your car, so you're always ready to go sailing.

Please park along the hill, as the small parking lot on the south side of the Club frequently is filled, especially on Tuesday and Friday evenings.

Please leave in your car anything of value that is not waterproof and does not float. The boats do not have a good place to keep anything very big, so please leave your handbag and all valuables (and cellphone if it is not waterproof) in your car, and then leave your car keys, if you wish, in the Sailing School office.

Please meet us at the Sailing School Building, in the south lot of the Edgewood Yacht Club. We'll be there to welcome you. Look for signs.

Please dress appropriate to the weather and wear/bring:

shorts or comfortable pants, shirt
a change of clothing (we never expect to be in the water; but "just in case") for a comfortable drive home.
closed-toe soft-soled boating shoes or running shoes. Light colored soles only, to prevent leaving marks on the boats' white decks..
life-jacket (vest-style, USCG-rated Type III pfd)* - you can borrow a life-jacket from the Sailing School during during any class or activity on the water.
sports cap for the sun (if you wish)
sunglasses (probably with strap)
ordinary glasses, if you wear them (probably with strap)
loose fitting nylon windbreaker that will fit over your life jacket, if the weather is damp, windy, or chill.
when the weather is rain, or going on a picnic sail, bring along a waterproof jacket (foul-weather gear).

Our informal on-shore teaching is not complex enough to require extensive note taking. Notebooks, etc. are not needed.

IMPORTANT - Bad weather & Emergency Contact:

Sailing School classes always meet, even if the weather doesn't look like it's good for sailing — we'll sail or be inside doing "shore" stuff, according to what's safe and what's practical.
If a class does have to be cancelled, we will
- send an email to you
- post a Notice to Edgewood Mariners <http://www.edgewoodsailing.org/> on the website
