Following the momentum of the past two years, we are excited to grow the Hot-Boating program in 2023!
This year, the Club will offer
Mixed Hot-Boating for adults and teen sailors (12 years and over) and a new
Women’s Hot-Boating Group called the "Dinghy Divas” for female adults and teen sailors.
Schedule (Subject to change depending on attendance).
Spring Session:
Combined Dinghy Divas & Hot Boaters 10 am to 1 pm
May 14 to Jun 18
If there are sufficient numbers of each group we will split into Dinghy Divas 10-1, Hot Boaters 2-5
Hot Boaters - Summer Session, Jul 9 to Aug 20, excl Aug 6
Dinghy Divas - - Summer Session, Jul 9 to Aug 20, excl Aug 6
Hot Boaters - Fall Session, Sep 10 to Oct 8
Dinghy Divas - Fall Session, Sep 10 to Oct 8
The Dinghy Divas will rig the boats at the start of the day and the Mixed Group will de-rig them at the end. Debriefs will be held after each session, over lunch for the Dinghy Divas and a “wet debrief after the Mixed Group session. The Mixed Group and any “shore crew” are very welcome to join the Dinghy Divas for lunch if they so desire. Lunch will be available through the club’s normal lunch service.
The aim is for all Hot Boaters to have fun, make friends, and develop new skills in a safe and supportive environment. We expect the groups will have a diverse array of skills and we will do our best to ensure everyone has an opportunity to learn at their own pace so all may thrive.
Hot Boating (like “hot-desking”) will be done in the FJ’s. There may be the opportunity to try a Laser, if one of the participants is willing to make their Laser available. We may also plan for a day racing the J22’s (the club will have four this year) for additional healthy fun competition.
In addition to the Hot Boating sessions, like the past couple of years, those who want to (no pressure!) can join the group competing in the Whistler and/or Pumpkin Bowl regattas later in the year.
