SAILING DROP-IN CUSTOMERS
The City perceives its"SailPass" sailboatrentalprogram as another opportunityto provide a boatingsafetymessage to itscustomers and theirguests.
The Citydoes not allow walk-insailboatrentersbut instead has an internalwrittenand on-water ratingstestsystem, which isdesigned to develop the boating safetyknowledge of more experienced sailors.Only upon successfullypassing thistwo-parttestisa sailorallowed to rent a City sailboat.
The sailormay choose between a dinghy or keelboat ratingstestbut must rateineach ifthey choose to rentboth types of boat.Many of our rentersare students who have learned to sailinthe Cityprogram, and now the SailPass allows them access to the bay with theirfamilyand friends, safelyintroducingmore people to boating.Staffcontinues to provide boating safetyknowledge to SailPass customers upon every visit.
PADDLING DROP-IN CUSTOMERS
With paddle drop-ins,ratherthan provide a renterwith a board and paddle and no education, our experienced and trainedCitystafftake the time to provide a comprehensive orientationto each customer.

• Boating rules
Staffencourage each of our paddlers to begin theirjourney paddlingupwind, so thatthey recognize the differencewhen they are met witha headwind. Although Californialaw statesthata PFD only needs to be on board, the Cityruleisthatallour paddlersmust wear a properlyfitting,City- provided,US Coast Guard approved lifejacket.Each paddler must be able to swim 50 yards, must be at leastsixyears of age, and no one under the age of 18 isallowed on the water without an adult.Everyone aged sixto 12 must have an adulton the equipment with them.
Staffalso review rulesofthe road and emergency procedures.Paddlers are taught how to climb back onboard, should they falloff.They are taught how to stay with theircraftinan emergency, and how to hailotherboatersby waving a paddle or usingthe provided whistleattached to the life jacket.They are also encouraged to be aware of allother boaters on the water,to anticipate developingsituationsand tostaytothe sidesofthe channel, keeping clearof traffic.
This summer alone,Sailingand Boatingstaffput more than 2,100 sailingstudentsas wellas drop-in sailingand paddlingcustomers of allages on the water.Each ofthose customers enjoyed theirtime on the water, safely,withoutincidentand no rescues - allhad received a comprehensive safe boating orientation.

Instead, staffworks with each boater to properlyfitand secure theirlifejacket, explainingwhy a snug fitismandatory.
The docks at Marina Park allhave safetyladdersat differentlocations,as wellas liferingsand throw bags, ready to be tossed to anyone inthe water.
Marina Park has always had threesafetyboats on the docks, prepared with floatingtowline,small step ladder,spare lifejackets,as wellas a prop guard.The safetyboats are on the water duringany classesand camps, formore thanjustinstructionalpurposes. They have been used as a safety Contract# c8970324, cityof Newport Beach, AquaticCenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 12 01 108 Exhibit A
platform,closetotheon-wateractivityand readyto respond,ifever needed. Infact,the safetyboat has responded on two separateoccasions(NOT relatedto our boating program), when swimmers offthe publicbay beach needed rescuing.Our staffresponded, even beforethe beach lifeguard, and pulledstrugglingswimmers to safety.
The Venue is Unique
The sheer number ofvisitorsto Marina Park every year makes thisvenue a unique and ideal platformfordisseminatingboatingsafetyinformation.Many visitorswalking by the Sailingboat bay are drawn in,seeing the City'sfleetof sailboatsand paddle equipment, curiousabout our programs and what we provide.This givesus an excellentopportunityto reach people who would not normally be interestedin boating- thinkingthere wasn't a route forthem to get involved.This segment of the populationmight onlyifndthemselves,as a guest,on a boat once or twice,withzero knowledge of how to boat safely,leavingthem vulnerableon the water.We can pique an interestand provide classesforbeginnerswhich,inturn,developssafeboaters out ofthispreviously"non-boating" demographic.
Instructors/Staff
Instructorsare always activesailors,certifiedby US Sailing,withyears of coaching and sailing experience.The Citystaffhiredto run Marina Park Sailingand Boating includesseveral experienced boaters and ocean lifeguards,as wellas staffwho have been involved since the inceptionof the Marina Park program.
All the instructors and staff who work at Marina Park have always been CPR/First Aid certified.In addition,allthe instructorswho have been hired to teach boatingsafetyforthe Citycarryat leasta US Sailingcertification,ifnotadditionalUS Sailingcertifications- includingkeelboat,instructorand adaptive instructorcertifications.
Sailboat Fleet
The sailboatfleetthatthe Cityowns isdiversiifed;from one-person dinghies thatappeal to our youth,to bigger keelboats thatprovide more comfort forour older demographic. The Cityowns 20 Schock sabots, three Lido 14's,two RS Ventures, six J22s and 12 RS Quests. The fleetisthe newest inthe bay and purchased specificallybecause each type of boat isan excellenttraining platform.
Sailing Classes
The Cityprovides a wide varietyof sailingclasses thatappeal to allages and levelsof ability.Some classes are structured with the instructor onboard to provide an additionalcomfort levelforthe uncertainbeginner.Classes are designed to tryto accommodate people's busy lives,so there's always a classavailable,whether it'sa four-day,two-day,week-long, or solelya few hours of sailing inone day. Privatelessons are also availableand are one of the City'smost popular options.The Parent & Me option thatallows a childto sailwith theirparent isalways booked, as well as the varietyofcamps and classesforyouth.Allthe boatingsafetyclasses thatthe Cityoffersare differentthan otherclassesbeing offeredinthe bay - whether it'sdifferentcurriculum,different types of boats or differentscheduling.
Sail Pass Program
For the demographic thatisalreadyinterestedinboating,Marina Park isan enticingoption because, notonlydo we providethe classesfrom beginningthrough advanced inboth dinghiesand keelboats,but the Citythen has the SailPass program, which provides access so a City-educated sailormay continuetheirboatingsafetyjourney withfamilyand friends.
To participateinthe CitySailPass program, the sailormust take an internalon-water and written contract# C8970324, CityofNewport Beach, AquaticCenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 13 01 108 Exhibit A

Any experienced sailormust "rate"with us before using Cityboats to enjoy the water withfamilyand friends. All sailors must be able to swim and wear properlyfittedlifejackets,no one under the age of six.
Work with the Girl Scouts
The Argyros GirlScout Leadership Center islocatedwithinMarina Park and, inOrange County alone, there are some 40,000 GirlsScouts. Individualtroopsearn the opportunitytovisitthe Center, and we have worked withhundreds of GirlScouts providingboatingsafetyinformationwhen they come to paddle with us. Sailingand Boating has also developed a boatingsafetysailingprogram for the GirlsScouts.For two weeks every summer GirlScouts can registerforweek-long boatingsafety camps designed specificallyforthem.
Adaptive Sailing Program
The Citylaunched itsadaptivesailingprogram forpeople with disabilitiesthispast year.All instructorsare US SailingAdaptive Instructorcertiifed,and the Cityisofferingprivatesailinglessons forpeople withcognitiveand physicaldisabilities.Thanks to the DBW grant,one RS Venture keelboatisoutifttedwithadaptivegear so thateven a personwiththehighestlevelofdisabilitycan sailcomfortably.The Citystartedslowlyinorderto maintain the highestlevelof safetystandard.
This next year,we'llcontinuewiththe privatelessons,perhaps trya group event, and cast a wider net of promotion.

Overcrowding combined with boaterinexperienceremain the most significantboating safetyproblems inNewport Harbor.
Overcrowding
Competing uses ofour bay between a varietyofdifferenttypes of boaters isa key concern.
With more than 9,000 boats docked and moored inNewport Harbor, our bay where we conduct allour classes isovercrowded, particularlyinthe summer. Itdoesn'ttake a study, but merely observation,to know thatovercrowding isa problem. Our typicallybeautiful Southern Californiaweather draws people to boatingactivityand,on any givenday throughouttheyear,a boaterwillencountertheBalboacar ferry,sailboats,powerboats, personally-owned Duffy electricboats,rented electricboats,fishingcruiseboats,large chartervessels,rented paddleboards and kayaks,fishermen infloats,gondolas, small partycharterboats (hottubs,pedalingbars),rowers practicingin skulls,and competitive sailorstrainingand racing.There are alsoanchorages and mooring fieldsthroughout the harbor thatreduce operationalspace.
Contract# C8970324, cityof Newport Beach, AquaticCenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 14 of 108 Exhibit A
Inexperience -
Couple the crowding with the factthatmost of the boaters are inexperienced and, inmany cases, inept.Even the biggerpowerboaters are obviouslynot educated. They simply liked a boat,so they bought it,withouttakingany instructionalclasses. Fenders out,we see them puttingout huge wake, which damages allthe boats on docks - not to mention being a menacing forcebearingdown on otherboaters.When faced with a crowded situationor sailboatson the water,insteadofslowingdown and standing by,these operators gun their boats at increased speed, puttingout ocean-sized wake and creatingan exceptionalsafety hazard.
The rentaloperations around the harbor rentout electricmotor Duffy's,as wellas a slew of paddleboards, kayaks, and fishingskiffs.No experience isrequired and, often,thisisthe firsttime these rentershave ventured out onto Newport Harbor - or even onto the water.
We speak from personal experience thatour instructorsand staffhave rescued more rental paddleboards (from other operations)than we can remember. Renters are shoved offthe beach by the other concession stands with no instruction,holdingthe paddles incorrectly, paddlingdown the middle of the channel obliviousto any other traffic,not wearing lifejackets,and incapableof paddlingupwind atthe end ofthe day because no one instructed them on wind and current.
Finally,inexperienced boaters have a problem understanding thatthe enormous charter boats cruisingthrough federalchannels have difficultymaneuvering and can'tstop on a dime. These charterboats are professionallycaptained and travelat slow speeds, however they carrylotsof momentum. For inexperienced boaters thisposes an added danger as they don'tunderstand thatthe big boats can'teasilyavoid obstacles on the water.
Inexperiencedboaterscutrightinfrontofthe charters,or don'tgive them a wide enough berth.
Inall,our bay, which draws so many visitors,has a distinctneed forthe boater safety education thatwe provide.
Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 4)
3.b. How does the materialcovered inthe course curriculumsthatyou offerdirectlyaddress these identiifed problems? Provide specificexamples of materialinyour curriculum(s)thatdirectlyrelateto the issues described in 3.a.
Overcrowding on the bay combined with inexperienced boaters are a bad combination.
Most of the overcrowding inthe bay isbecause of powerboats and most of the operator inexperienceinthe bay isexhibitedby power boat operators.
Sailorsare generallymuch more informed and more capable on the water than powerboaters, as there are many more complexitiesinoperatinga sailboat,which can then transitionintocompetent powerboat operation.
Despite not teaching powerboat education speciifcally,the Cityproduces knowledgeable sailors,who are then fullyqualifiedon pleasureoutingswithfriendsand familieson sailboatsor powerboats. The City'ssailingclassesteach Rules of the Road, absolute controlofthe sailboat,boat maneuvering, how to avoid congested areas, and how to recognize inexperienceinother boaters.
contract# c8970324, cityof Newport Beach, AquaticcenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02127/2026 Page: 15 of 108 Exhibit A
Allthe Cityof Newport Beach classesare designed to give sailorsthe toolsto recognize and avoid criticalmissteps. Our instructorsare US SailingSmall Boat Level 1 and Basic Keelboat InstructorCertified,and our curriculum follows US Sailing'ssuggested teachings, providingextensive informationto our students on, but not limitedto,the followingtopics thathelpour sailorsnavigatesafelyinany overcrowded harbor with inexperiencedboaters:
Wind direction-the key concept insailing:Knowing how to read the wind isthe first criticalstep inkeeping a boatersafe and incontrol.Being inabsolute controlof a sailboat atalltimes,regardlessofnothavingan engine,helpsprevent accidents.Knowing preciselyhow a sailboator powerboat willreactdue to wind conditionsisan importanttool in overcrowded situations. Students learn how to control the wind and thus theirboat.They willalsobegin to understand concepts like"windage"inpowerboats and how the wind affectsa boaterwho isdocking.Our sailorsare taughtabout how differenttypes of boats maneuver on the water.For example, thereare a few largecharterboats inour harbor,so studentsare taughtto givewide berth,knowing thatthese largevessels cannot maneuver easilynor stop quickly.
Returning to and Leaving the Dock -bothcriticalconceptsto master inan overcrowded bay of inexperiencedboaters.Instructorswork withstudents,especiallybeginning students,individually,talkingthem offthe dock and onto the course. Students learnhow to "shove off'inthe proper direction,always aware ofthe wind directionand the trafficinthe channel offthe dock.They are taughthow to properlybalance the boat and gain speed and steerage as they depart.More advanced students are taught how backwinding sails can assistwithsteeringcontrol.Returningto the dock, students are taught how to slow down inthe controlled"safetyposition"so they avoid gettingcaught in irons,but instead glideslowlyintothe dock, with the bow justoffthe wind. Beginners are taught to drop or furltheirjibsbeforethey dock forlesssailpower, while more experienced sailorsare taughthow backwinding the main and bigtillermovements can also slow a boat.
Man Overboard Drill- Instructorspracticetossinglifejacketsintothe water simulating overboard recovery - a good exercisefornewer sailorsto perfect,helpingthem to become more familiarwith handlinga boat intightcircumstances.Instructionincludesalertingthe crew "man overboard,"immediatelytossinga lifejacketto the person inthe water, how to spot the person inthe water and immediatelybearingoffto circleor figureeightaround and approach slowlyand incontrolupwind. Students are also taught how to bringa MOB back on board safelyand properly.
Safety Position - how to slow your boat inorder to stand-by to avoid a collisionor to return to the dock slowly.As mentioned above, students are taught the "safetyposition."Again, absolute control of the boat at alltimes is a fundamental pillarof our teachings.Ifa sailor always has absolutecontrol,thissignificantlyreduces the riskof accidents and injuries.
Our studentsare taughtto"standby" ifthey are negotiatinga crowded situation,rather than acceleratingdangerously through tightquarters,as we see many powerboaters do.
They are alsotaughthow the safetypositionpreventsthem from going intoirons,which would leave them withoutsteerage and forward momentum.
"Right of Way" rules -the most importantofwhich isto avoid a collisionat allcosts.This requiresan alertskipperwho isaware of trafficand knowledgeable of the rules.Sailorsare taughtto maintain a proper lookout,keeping inmind thatmost boaters don'tknow the Contract# c8970324, CityofNewport Beach, AquaticCenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 16 of 106 Exhibit A
rules,so never to forcetheirway on the water.Common sense and courtesy are essential when sailingon our bay.We explainto allour studentsto never assume the other boater knows what they'redoing.We teach our studentsto always anticipatethatthe other boater may not reactor turninthe manner we are expecting,and to always keep clear,be in control and have a Plan B to avoid collisions.
Speed -statedspeed is5 knotsforpowerboats.When sailinginNewport Harbor, the InlandRight of Way Rules apply.When boatsare moving close,we teach our students which boat is"stand on" and which is"give way". We teach that there are rulesthat apply between differenttypes of crafton the water,as wellas rulesthatapply when there are commercial boats and largeboats inconifnedwaterways (ourharbor.)Most ofall,we teach our studentsto never fullytrustany otherboat operatorinour bay. Because we have so many rentalsinthisbay, we teach students how to identifyriskydriversand how best to avoid them.
Our curriculumcovers how to make a course change so thatanother boater isclear regardingyour intentions,as wellas how to approach another vessel coming head-on.
Overtaking boats keeping clearisalso covered.As mentioned, we have rowers on our bay, and our studentsare taughtthatthe rowers cannot maneuver or slow down easily, and thatoftenthey cannot see well.
CharterBoats-BecauseNewportHarborisconsidereda conifned waterway, our studentsknow thatthey may not impede the passage of largecommercial boats, and that the large charterboats have limitedabilitiesto maneuver at low speeds.
Trafficpatterns - InNewport, generallyboatersshould stay to the right,but our sailorsare taught to never cross directlyinfrontof another boat.There are mooring fieldsinNewport, and we teach our sailorsand paddlersto stay out ofthem. We also teach our boaters to keep an eye peeled forrowers,otherpaddlers,electricboat rentalsand the ferry.We also have lotsofcompetitivesailorson the bay, and we teach our boaters how to steer clear.
Motorboats vs. sailboats - Our instructors teach that our sailorsshould above allkeep clear,regardlessofwhether they have rightofway, assuming thatthe other boater isnot knowledgeable. However, we of course teach starboard, port, leeward, windward, who has rightofway, as wellas other rulesof the road.
Ferries - Instructors teach that our sailors should always avoid the ferriesand plan their passage to accomplish this.

11. Conducting Evaluation & Implementing Improvements
11.a Identifya program improvement thatwas implemented inthe lastcalendaryear:
Note: improvements can be eitherboatingsafetyor administrativeinnaturebut should have made your organization safer or more efficientin a measurable way. Do not repeatanswers from previousapplications unless you have furtherreifneda process mentioned previously.
Over the pastyear,Marina Park'sSailing& Boatingimplemented a significantorganizational improvement through the creationof the AssistantRecreation Coordinator(ARC) position.The additionofthisrole,dedicatedsolelyto Sailing& Boating,addressed a key need identiifedinprior assessments-namely, the need forstrongeradministrativeand on-water support to sustaingrowth inprograms and staffing.
The ARC positionhas provided criticalassistance inoverseeing the successful influxof new staff, due to the changes the citymade lastyear to attractand retainstaff.The ARC maintainsconsistencyacross safetyand instructionalstandards,and supports overallprogram operations. This role has reduced the administrativeburden on the SailingRecreation Coordinator, ensuringthatstrategicgoals and day-to-daytasksare executed efficientlyeven when supervisory staffare unavailable.The ARC also bridgesthe gap between front-lineinstructorsand management, dispensing advanced boatingand customer serviceknowledge while ensuring compliance with safetyprotocols.
Since the position'screation,the team has seen improved communication, higher staffretention, Contract# C8970324, CityofNewport Beach, AquaticCenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 23 of 108 Exhibit A

Objective 3 -To fund organization that are efficient,and financiallysolvent. (Page 4-2) 11 c. What did the assessment identified in 11.b reveal that prompted you to make an improvement?
What were the measurable benefitssince implementation?
The prioryear'sassessment revealedthatwhileprogram demand continued to grow, the administrativeand safetyoversightstructureremained too limitedto support the expanded staffand program size.The Sailing& Boatingteam identifiedthata singlecoordinator couldnotsustainablyoversee allfacetsofdailyoperations,training,and customer service.
Thisgap limitedthedepartment'sabilitytomaintainitshigh safetyand instructional standardsduringperiodsofhighactivityorstaffturnover.
In response, the Citycreated and filledthe AssistantRecreation Coordinator positionto ensure continuityof leadership,consistenttraining,and greatersupport forboth new and returningSailing& Boating staff.
There have been several measurable beneifts since the implementation of the ARC role.
Staffconifdenceand development have improved throughhands-on mentorship and structuredonboarding ledby the ARC. Boatingsafetyculturehas been enhanced, as uniformtrainingstandards have been appliedacross allstaffpositions.There has also been a remarkable increaseinefficiencyand cleanlinessinfleetmanagement, storage, and facilityoperationsdue to consistentoversight.And with an ARC, there has been administrativecontinuity,as key operationsand schedulinghave operated smoothly and continuouslywhen the Recreation Coordinator isunavailable.
Overall,theARC positionhas strengthenedboth the organizationalcapacityand safety cultureof Marina Park'sSailing& Boatingoperations,resultingin measurable improvements instaffperformance, customer experience,and operationalreliability.

The RS Quests are a mainstay ofour boatingeducationprogram. Ifwe don'treplace a few items,we won't be able to use the Quests for instruction.We're requestingthe balance of the standingrigging.
Ifwe don'treplacethe wiringthatholds up the masts, we riskthem coming down due to frayed, unwinding,or stretchedout wiring.
The mast step beams thatfunctioninconjunctionwiththe stays to provide a secure foundation for the mast, need replacingforsafetyreasons. The mast step beam isa rectangularaluminum tube that ismounted horizontallyfrom gunwale togunwale. Water typicallydrains out,but some water gets trapped and doesn'tevaporate.That excess moisture creates corrosion;alltwelve of our RS Quests have signs of corrosion.
The RS Quest seats are startingto crack.Four seats cracked on the edge near the midpointbetween mounting screws. 11 ofthe 24 seats have developed cracks around the recessed mounting holes.

The Cityof Newport Beach has experienced success with the launch ofitsadaptivesailingprogram.
We've made inroadswiththe localhospital,Hoag Hospital,speaking to and working with some of the people inthe hospital'sstrokesurvivor'sprogram. From speaking with the leaders at Hoag as wellas withotherprofessionalswho work with people with disabilities,there'sconsensus that everyone with a disabilityfaces extraordinaryifnancialchallenges. Transportation,hospital,rehab, physicaltherapy,occupationaltherapy,caregiving,modificationsforeveryday life,lossof indepedence, lossofwork - the listgoes on. These are ifnancialchallenges an able bodied person does not face. We base our award on these assumed ifnancial burdens thiscommunity faces.
We startedour adaptive program assigningtwo instructorsto each privatelesson. We are still learningand there are so many complexitiesto teaching sailingto someone with a disabiity.These lessons are designed to also includefamily,so the person doesn't have to be on the water alone; thisadventure should be enjoyed with friends.These factorsdriveup the cost of the adaptive class, which makes itexpensive foranyone, letalone a person risingabove the challengesof a disability.
Our goal isto make thisopportunityinclusiveand availableto anyone. While the Citywon't check the ifnancialrecords of participants,the factisthat a person with a disabilityhas many more barriers than an able-bodiedperson to takinga boatingsafetyclass.This doesn't mean thatthey won't be boaters,enjoyingfriends'boats and time on the water. But the Citywants to make itas accessible as possibleforsomeone with ifnancialbarriersto take a boating safetyclass,preparingthem forthe day they ifndthemselves on the water.The Citydoes provide an onboarding form forthe participant to fillout priorto the class.Thisform helps instructorsunderstand the individual'sdisability, hindrances,lifestyle,as wellas motivationand goalsfortakingthe class. contract# c8970324, cityof Newport Beach, AquaticcenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 40 of 108 Exhibit A
Itgoes withoutsaying thatpeople with disabilitiesare no differentthan able-bodied people and want to enjoyallthe same activities.So, they willaccess the water withfriendsinboatingactivities.This isour opportunityto provideboatingsafetyeducation-withoutany financialbarriers- so thatthey are wellprepared forthe days thatthey ventureonto the water intheirpersonal boatingoutings.
5. How have you determined thereissufifcientdemand touse allthescholarshipfundingyou arerequesting? Our firstyear usingfunds we startedsmall,not promotingto any organizationsand we used every dime of grantfunding.We based our initiallessons soley upon word ouf mouth, which ishow Hoag Hospitalfound our program. We'd liketo now slowlybuildby reachingout and promoting to a few more organizations.We are confident,based upon thisprior'syear'sdemands, thatwe'llbe able to applyallthe scholarshipfundinginthisrequest.We are only requestinga bitmore fundingso as to not tax our abilityto provide a safe and valuable experience.Already thisyear,we've heard from anotherlocalorganizationwanting to schedule a group adaptive lesson,so we'llbuildupon our privatelessonformatto potentiallyincludea largergroup.

7 b, Provideany explanationofcostsas needed.
This past year we provided privatelessons foran individualat $300 per person/lesson.The cost for a privatewilllikelyincrease,althoughatwritingtime,we're not certainof thatcost.We've found that everyone who sailedwanted more than one lesson. Sometimes the studentjustwanted to get used to the boat and did not want instruction until the end of the firstlesson.Then, they were eager to take another lesson to reallylearn,once they gained confidence.Thus, we structuredAdaptive Sailingwith the optionof one lesson,two or three sessions- allat$300 per outing.This way the student received three,two-hour sessions - much likean able-bodiedclassscheduled over multiple days.
As Imentioned the main cost isthe instructorcost,and withtwo instructorsforevery privateintially, Contract# c8970324,CityofNewportBach, AquaticCenterGrantFY 2025-26,Date:02/27/2026 Page: 41 of 108 Exhibit A
the cost grows.We have found thatwe probably don'tneed two instructorsforevery lesson - really only fora person with a high levelof disability.We are limitedin the number of lessons we can provide because we've only trainedand certifieda handfulof instructors.But,already,we've had a requestfora group event so we're currentlyexamining ifand how we can accomodate more than one student with familyat a time.Ifwe conduct a group lesson,we could place multiplestudents (withlower disabilities)ina boat together,which would reduce the cost forthe individual,as we'd only use one instructorper boat.

Because thiswas the firstyear of ACE Sailingscholarshipawards, we startedwith a small circleof families.We reached out to Newport Elementary (localschool)familieswho had taken a classwith us before,and we had an immediate response. Inthisfirstsession thatwe're offeringscholarship funding,we have sixstudentswho are now sailingbecause the funding made itpossible forthem to join.There isa definiteneed as we quicklyfound out.We're not asking forfinancialrecords, but prospectivefamiliesdo fillout a document explainingwhy they'rerequestingfunding.This funding has already made a differenceinthe livesof sixfamilieswho'd liketheirchildrento gain as much boating safetyinstructionas possible.
5. How have you determined thereissufficientdemand touse allthe scholarshipfundingyou are requesting? We are requesting$6,000 forACE Sailingscholarshipfunding.Classes forthisafterschool sailing sessionarenotas costfriendlyas some oftheadultclasses. This isbecause, with children,we have a higher student to teacher ratioforsafetypurposes. The students are sailingalone on their firstday and ittakes more instructorsto ensure everyone issafe and understanding basic concepts.
Because of the expense ofthe class,itbecomes cost-prohibitiveforthe familiesinthisarea who attend the localpublicschool thatthisclasstargets.Because we only reached out to a few families forthispilotyearand had sucha tremendousresponse,we're conifdentthatthere are more families out therewho'd opt forboatingsafetyclasses ifthey could affordit.Also, the funding we used this year was at small percentages when, inreality,more familieswould participateifmore of the tuition costs were covered.

This isa beginner class,so the targetaudience ispeople who have never sailedbefore or have little previousboatingknowledge.We ask thatthesestudentsare agileenough to move about inthe smaller,weight-sensitivedinghies.
Target Audience: Why isitimportantthatthisaudience receivesthisspeciifcboatingsafety instruction?
These people willmost likelybe a guest on a powerboat or sailboatat some pointinthe future,and thisBeginning Dinghy classwillprovidemany ofthe boatingsafetybasics thatapply inpowerboats as wellas sailboats.Afterthisclassthey willbe educated boaterswith enough informationto keep them (and possiblytheirfriends)safe forfutureboatingoutings.Inaddition,sailingrequiresmuch more informationand understandingthan powerboating inorder to be a safe boater.
C. Course Objectives:Upon completionofthiscourse,what new skillswillthe student have? Through classroom instructionand on-the-waterpracticestudents learn the fundamentals of how to rigand safelysaila small 12-16'dinghy.The classisalso a greatrefresherforthose who have not sailedrecently.Students learn:boatingsafety,knots,rigging,sailingtheory,boat handling,docking, sailtrimand capsize recovery.

Instructors found itwas too dififcultto test some students whiletryingtoinstructotherstudents,so the ratingstestwas broken out intoa separateclass.The Exploreclassisnow purely instructional,but alsoserves as a good one-day trialto see if sailorsare ready to go through the ratingsprocess.

12, Describehow thisspeciifccourseadvances boatingsafetyeducationby providingthefollowinginformation:
A. Target Audience: Clearlydescribe the targetaudience forthiscourse.
This 3.5-hour class is for intermediate sailors interested injoininga J/22 classbeyond the beginning leveland forsailorsinterestedingainingmore keelboatexperience on the water.
B. Target Audience: Why isitimportantthatthisaudience receives thisspecificboating safety instruction?
Thisone-day classisdesigned forthe person who has some sailingability,maybe justindinghies, and iscuriousabout sailinga keelboat.Keelboats handle differentlybecause they'recarryingabout 1,000 pounds of lead on the bottom of the boat. They are much heavier than dinghies,so it's importantforsailorsto understand thatittakes longer to get them going and much longer to get them to stop as they'recarryingmomentum.
C. Course Objectives: Upon completion of thiscourse,what new skillswillthe student have? Students willreview rigging,docking,crew work, pointsof sail,sailtrim,rulesof the road, crew overboard and more as you get ready to take your sailingto the next leveland jump intoan Intermediate or Advanced Keelboat class. Students will be familiar with a J22 keelboat and how it steersand operates.
D. Curriculum Examples: Give 2-3 examples of how you incorporatethe items you checked in9 a-c intoyour curriculumand theirimportance.
Lecture: Introduction to the J/22 Keelboat. Review leavingand returningto the dock, preparationto sail,weather sources, safetygear, emergency procedures and crew overboard.
Dockside: Inspectrunning rigging,standing riggingand hullintegrity,check inventory,locationand operationof requiredsafetyequipment. Rig boats.
On the water practice:Practicestarting,stopping,speed control,tacking,jibing,steeringcontrol,sail lufifng,the No-Go-zone, gettingout of irons,backing the jib,crew coordinationand communication.
Demonstrate sailinga predetermined closed course maneuvering around obstacles.Practicefigure8 crew overboard recovery and heave-to maneuver.
Allofthese skillstranslateto any boat a studentmay ifndthemselves aboard inthe future.Self rescue and crew rescue are invaluable skills to know.
E. Best Takeaways: What are the most importantskillsa studentlearnsinthiscourse to enhance theirsafetyinthe localenvironment or elsewhere?
The best takeaways would be the man overboard drillsthatare taught.Also, understanding how a heavier boat does not stop on a dime, whether it'sa powerboat or a keelboat.There are no brakes.
Also,thisclass sometimes draws dinghy sailorswho are curious about keelboats,so itencourages them to get to know how to operate a larger,heaviervessel.
F. Courses with prerequisites or are not the beginning course in a series: How does thiscourse buildupon the skillslearned in previous,less advanced courses inthe seriesand how does this specificlearningimprove boatingsafety? Ifcourse isa beginning course without a prerequisite, writeN/A. as your response.
This course isforsomeone who already has basic sailingskills.Itteaches about keelboats,ifa sailor has never driven one. Students learnabout riggingthat'sunique to a keelboatand about additional toolsthey have to shape sails,increasingor decreasing wind power. (backstay)This boat ismore powered up than a dinghy, so students learnto use a winch, how to balance weather helm, and how criticalitisto drivea boat using the force inthe sails,ratherthan tryingto relyupon the tilleralone.

These students learn how to sail.Even ifthe child repeatsthe course,they are stillatthe beginning level,as sailingisa cerebralsport.Repetitioniskey.They startwith classroom basics,learningthe partsof the boat,sail,and basic terminology.Afterthe ifrsthour of class,they'reriggingthe boat and then sailing,withthe coach instructingfrom a coach boat. By the end of fiveweeks, they'resailingall the way to the harbor entrance.
D. Curriculum Examples: Give 2-3 examples ofhow you incorporatethe items you checked in9 a-c intoyour curriculumand theirimportance.
Lifejacketsare key.Safetyiskey.The childrenlearnabout thewind and theweather.They learnhow toselfrescue,ifthe boat capsizes,but most importantlythey learn how to hike out,featherthe boat and ease the sails,iftheyare heelingtoo much. They learnhow to be respectfuland followthe rules ofthe road.They learnthey cannot justjump intoa boat on the water,and thatone person ata time boards or disembarks -not everyone standingup inthe boat at once.
E. Best Takeaways: What are the most importantskillsa student learns inthiscourse to enhance theirsafetyinthe localenvironment or elsewhere?
These studentsspend theirtime participatinginJr Lifeguardsand swimming inthe ocean. They learn,though,thatany boatingoutingdemands thatthey wear a lifejacket.These littleambassadors sometimes leavethe classaccidentallywearing theirlifejacket- and we'reconfidentthatthey trumpet PFD importancetoany adultsintheirlives.They alsowalk away withconfidence,because they've learnedhow tocontrolthe boat.They've learnedto respectthe water and thatthingscan unwind quicklywhile boatingifthey'renot always vigilant.They also practicecapsizingso they understand that,even ifthishappens, they know how to respond and stay safe.

E. Best Takeaways: What are the most importantskillsa student learns in thiscourse to enhance theirsafetyinthe localenvironment or elsewhere?
Because privatelessons have onlyone-two registrants,students are able to reallyidentifywhat they need to learn.For a beginningstudent,they learnabout the importanceofwearing a lifejacket,they learnhow quicklythingscan unwind on the water and how to prevent these thingsfrom happening.
They learnthe partsofthe boat and sail,how to rigand derig,and allabout the no-go zone and pointsof sail.They learn how to trimsails,how to balance the boat, and how to read the wind. For the more experiencedsailor,they buildupon allofthese skills.

When these customers head out on the water after our orientation,they have been taughtproper paddlingtechnique,balance, rightofway, selfrescue,wind direction,tide,how to steer and control the kayak or SUP, and how to navigatethe bay and otherboaters.We NEVER have to go out on the water to rescue any of our paddlers (unlikethe other paddle rentaloperationsinour bay.)Our comprehensive orientationdevelops safe boaters,who know enough to venture onto the water and returnsafely.
