Parents & Junior Sailors, here’s what you need to remember to bring to class on Monday.

Life Jackets/Vests:

WYCYF Junior Sail provides life jackets for use, but many of you might prefer getting your own. Life Jackets must be US Coast Guard-approved Type II or Type III(recommended) personal floatation devices. Life Jackets are required to be worn at all times when on the dock, in a boat, and any place in between.

Drinking water/Refillable water bottle:

Please bring your own – We have committed to not using disposable bottles to help keep them out of our lake.

Sunscreen / Sunblock / Rash guards / Under Armor / Performance long-sleeve shirts and or leggings:

Protect yourself and your skin from the sun – you can still burn even when the sky is overcast.

Towel:

You will more than likely get wet at some point or another during the day – you should have something to dry off with.

Swimming Suit:

Swim/water comfort test on the 1st day and Swim suits are very comfortable to sail in all season.

Dry Change of Clothes:
The ride home after class is a lot more pleasant in dry clothes.  

Closed-toe & rubber sole shoes:

I can’t stress this enough – NO FLIP-FLOPS –

Good traction makes sailing easier. Plus, feet are crucial to what we do…You’ll want to keep them protected!

Windbreaker/Foul weather gear:

We sail rain or shine, hot or cool weather – please have clothing options that will protect you for potential weather conditions.

Sunglasses with retainer strap: (Croakies…etc)
Protect your eyes and protect your sunglasses.

— Full Day Students —

Don’t forget to bring your lunch and/or a snack or money to buy lunch and/or snack – Instructors will chaperone students to Dock Side for Lunch or Ice Cream..
