FALL Sailing in SAYRA

The sailing season keeps on rolling in our area.  Looking at the calendar for October and November things don't seem to slow down, in fact it seems to be a race to 'get it all in'.  As you plan your frostbite series and winter racing calendars - don't forget to send those dates on to sailing.sayra@gmail.com for inclusion on our calendar. Full calendar listing HERE. 
 
Beyond sailing, consider hosting a Race Management training session or your own Club Basics 101. For those clubs considering hosting an US Sailing Instructor course for 2020 - host details are below and we recommend you sign up early. Another idea - enlist those High School kids to help make mini-videos on topics such as: Where to find the RC Gear? Proper Club Boat tie up? Even Club Kitchen details. Short video series can help ensure successful events/equipment operation/safety at any club. 
 
As your club or organization plans and prepares for 2020, SAYRA Executive team hopes that you will consider sending your leadership team to the SAYRA Annual Meeting January 24-26 in Hilton Head. We are planning sessions that will be beneficial to many and opportunities for you to share/learn/engage with others in our area. To help NARROW our topic focus, we would like to here from you.  Take this 2 question survey - LINK HERE.  We thank you in advance and look for more complete details in November.

J24 SAYRA takes on the WORLD!

The team is comprised of six female sailors from Charleston, SC who are actively involved in participating in and promoting local nonprofit Charleston Community Sailing’s Women on the Water Program. Keep up with all the action at FB @J24WomensTeamCharleston or Follow the event website: https://www.j24worldsmiami.com/
