Volunteers needed to sail board boats upriver to Shattemuc!

We will sail five board boats from Kingsland to Shattemuc, where they will stay for the summer. This is always a fun event!

We need volunteers for the following tasks. Please state in the comments if you have a preferred task.

• 5 sailors for the board boats
• 1 instructor for the safety boat
• 1 skipper and 1 or 2 crew for LunaSea (our keelboat)
• 1 driver to take the dockbox
• 1 person to arrange lunch at Shattemuc
• Extra people are welcome to come directly to Shattemuc in the afternoon to help put everything away. (The time will be announced when we see the fleet's progress upriver.)

Our plan is to rig the board boats starting at 9:00 AM and launch the boats no later than 10:30 AM. LunaSea and a safety boat will accompany the board boats in case they need help. LunaSea will depart Shattemuc at 9:00 to meet the board boats at Kingsland.

The sail upriver is 6 miles and may be challenging, depending on wind and sea conditions. We will choose the most experienced volunteers to sail the board boats. Less experienced sailors may sail together with more experienced sailors, or they may ride in the safety boat or LunaSea. The current is favorable, increasing from slack at 10:05 AM to 1.0 knots at 12:43 PM.

If you arrive at Kingsland before 9:00, you will likely arrive before the parking attendant and not have to pay. If you arrive after the attendant, you can pay the $5 resident rate by telling the attendant that you are with the sailing school. Cars will be available at Shattemuc to drive people back to Kingsland to retrieve their cars at the end of the event.

You must be a paid member of SEAS Westchester to participate in this event.
