| Greetings!
We trust that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is looking forward to a cheery and cozy holiday season. If you are a little too cozy don't forget that SCYC has frostbiting and Oakcliff has lasers you can use. If that doesn't catch your fancy then maybe you just want to take some time and plan your next season's schedule. Read on.
|
| Laser Frostbiting |
We have 4 lasers at SCYC but the blade bags and sails are at Oakcliff. If you would like to use one for Frostbiting you just need to email race@oakcliffsailing.org or call us at 516 802 - 0368 before Friday noon so we can arrange for a bag check out and check in.

| North U at Oakcliff |
The Long Island North U - as in North University will be hosted at Oakcliff Sailing Center, Sunday February 13th. This should be an easy date for you to remember. The day before Valentine's Day. Bill Gladstone himself will be the leader of the seminar. The really good news is that 2011 Oakcliff Supporters receive a significant discount. There will be more information shortly but for now just save the date.

Coaching Jobs
|
We are aware of two part time coaching jobs for the spring.
Fordham University is looking for a part-time coach for the spring season, primarily in March & April and if all goes well and this up and coming team qualifies for nationals, the job would extend into May. It's possible that the part-time person this spring might become the full-time person starting in July. For more information contact race@oakcliffsailing.org
Nantucket High School is looking for a coach starting in March. The position would continue through June and there is also the potential for this person to work for Nantucket Community Sailing through the summer. So if you are keen to spend some time on this quaint island contact Diana Brown by emailing her at: Diana@nantucketcommunitysailing.com
