TRAVEL REGATTA FEES

  • In-State Regatta Fee: $60 per travel event within the state of Florida outside Miami-Dade County

  • Out Of State Regatta Fees: Varies depending on budget and number of sailors attending the event. All coaching costs associated with travel regattas outside the state of Florida will be evenly distributed amongst the confirmed sailors.

    • A call for interested families will be made at the beginning of the year as to who may want to participate in each out-of state event (includes Summer Regattas).

    • A budget will be drafted and presented at an interest meeting in anticipation of each event (>3 months ahead)

    • Sailors who confirm their attendance will be assessed a deposit based on the budget divided into the number of sailors confirmed to attend.

    • If applicable, all other expenses related to coaching will be divided amongst the team members who participated in the event. (For example: The coach purchased additional gasoline at team trials)

  • Summer Regattas: Any regattas that fall in between the official end of Spring Season and the official start of Fall Season will be organized following the Out Of State Regatta fee schedule. All costs associated with coaching will be assessed to the team members participating in the event evenly.

TOWING POLICIES FOR PARENT VOLUNTEERS

We are pleased to announce a new set of volunteer incentives for parents of sailors on the Optimist or ILCA Racing Teams:

  • Parents who elect to use their car to tow club coach boats or trailers will have their mileage at current federal rate OR fuel expenses reimbursed. Fuel expenses are from a full tank of gas on the way to an event. Receipts are required for reimbursement.

  • Those who tow to more than two regattas will receive a further 10% discount on program fees at their next season registration, limited to one registration.
