The JSA of LIS and US Sailing need help hosting three-day US Sailing Small Boat Instructor Level 1 in-person evaluation sessions, as well as two-day Level 2 in-person courses, during the spring, summer and fall. We are trying to identify waterfront sites in the Long Island Sound region that are willing to host one or more of these in-person sessions.
Some things host sites for Level 1 and Level 2 In Person Sessions need to provide, or source from neighboring clubs that may share sailing assets:
- Indoor/outdoor classroom space for 8 -12 people. Each session is limited to 8 to 12 Instructor Candidates (ICs) and one Instructor Trainer (IT). If possible, registrants will be ICs local to our area, which will benefit the hosting organization as well as neighboring organizations.
- The boats required are single- or double-handed sailboats sufficient for 8 -12 people (these can be C420s, ILCAs, Fevas, or some combination).
- Read the complete list of requirements by selecting “SMALL BOAT SAILING INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION COURSE HOST FACILITY FORM” on the “Host a Course” online form page described below.
If waterfront sites are willing to host, please complete the “Host a Course” online form on the US Sailing website for a “Small Boat Level 1” or “Small Boat Level 2” course. Questions may be directed to US Sailing’s Education Department at education@ussailing.org . After you submit a course hosting request to US Sailing, please inform the JSA Office at info@jsalis.org about the type of courses and dates requested.
