SAYRA Notes July 2019 Thank you to everyone who is out supporting sailing this summer... volunteering on shore, on the water, supporting our youth programs, hitting the regatta circuit, sailing at your local club and most of all just enjoying sailing.
 Teaching & Coaching Fundamentals Online
Created through a partnership project with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Teaching and Coaching Fundamentals Online (TCFO) is a free, online course that merges the worlds of teaching and coaching. Launched this past spring, it's being implemented in a number of US Sailing instructional courses in 2019. All Race Administration Seminar Leaders, Instructors, Coaches and Instructor Trainers and Safety at Sea Seminar Leaders must have completed TCFO by December 31, 2019. or at their earliest re-certification point-- whichever comes first -- in order for their certification to remain valid.

John and his team have not been actively campaigning in recent years, but are all excellent sailors anxious to get back to championship sailing. (John has sailed in the Mallory twice, and his only over-30 crew was his skipper back in 2007, when John was 16. Liz Chambers, also 16 at the time, sailed on the SAYRA team in the Adams that year.) John's team includes: - John Mellnik, Lake Norman Yacht Club, Mike Mergenthaler, Lake Norman Yacht Club, Elizabeth Chambers, SAYRA (formerly LNYC), Elisabeth Whitener, SAYRA (formerly LNYC), Carter Little, SAYRA.
