AYC Adopt-a-Boat Coordinator
This role may be a good fit for:
- Current TTL racers who are willing to show up a little early.
- Current Adopt a Boat sailors.
- Anyone familiar with rigging the primary boats: Lasers & C14.2s.
- A retired sailor.
There may be a need to help with rigging, backing up and launching, and getting the boat back to storage without killing the mast. The mast killer keeps overhead electrical wires and masts from striking.

- Establish timely communications with participants.
- Confirm participants’ membership in AYC.
- Confirm registration in the race series.
- Ensure the “Boat Use Agreement” is completed and signed.

- Coordinate other helpers to meet with participants as needed.
- Keep forms for each Adopt a Boat participant until the season is over.
- If reported or discovered, communicate needed boat repairs to ASF.
