SUGGESTED REGATTA HOUSING & SHORESIDE RULES AND REGULATIONS

The following is a guide for Program Chairs, Head Instructors and Event Organizers:

Any club providing housing for junior sailors should expect those sailors to be accompanied by an instructor.

Instructors with junior sailors who are receiving housing should:

• Be responsible for the conduct of his/her group during the racing day, from launching to the end of protest hearings. (Instructors need to be compensated for overtime duty.)
• Be housed or stay locally, providing the Housing Chairman with a phone number where he/she can be reached in case of emergency.
• If being housed, obey the house rules of the host family.

Sailors being housed should:

• Know that assigned housing must be used and stated curfews obeyed.
• Attend any scheduled dinners and social events or remain at their host’s home with the consent of and under the supervision of their host.
• Obey any “house rules” set by their host.
• Express appreciation for hospitality provided by their host family.

Host families should:

• Provide breakfast.
• Provide an appropriate adult-chaperoned environment for junior sailors.
• Make their “house rules” clear.
• Be familiar with and adhere to regatta rules.
• Drive sailors to and from the regatta site, understanding that instructors are not permitted to drive sailors.
• Notify the regatta committee of any problems.
