CALL TO ORDER – Bill Munster, Pro-Tem. EDUCATIONAL
Dan Nowlan reported on the
status of safety seminars for Category 1 and 0 offshore sailors. US
SAILING has assumed full responsibility for approving seminars so that
they meet standards and for providing defined administrative support and
publicity. A seminar
planning document has been developed.
It is available on the web site.
Hard copies can be obtained from Donna Leary, who is assigned to
manage seminar matters in the Offshore Office.
Interest in seminars has increased.
We are ahead of last year in number of seminars and will likely
have a record number of participants.
Several entirely new venues have contacted us, and some have
already started the process. US
SAILING provides sponsorship support as well as proprietary materials
and certification to seminars and participants.
There is a per-participant fee. Discussion ensued about the fee,
the associated services and products, and considerations for existing US
SAILING membership. The
committee also discussed sanctioning, whether of the seminars
themselves, or for events whose sanctioning might include seminar
requirements.
There was a brief discussion of
recognizing ISAF safety certification for non-US nationals who compete
in US Category 1 and 0 events, as well as both Special Regulations and
safety certification applications in international racing (i.e. races
with termini in more than one country.) STUDIES
