Frequently asked questions
Instructors and the Program Director will be available at the beginning and end of class time. The primary point of contact for progress and concerns should be the Instructor; parents may elevate concerns to the Program Director as they see fit.
Each sailor will receive a course evaluation at the end of each session. Race Team will receive an evaluation at the end of the summer. These evaluations will be distributed electronically to the parent emails on each sailor registration.
The best opportunity for parents to watch or sail with their child is during Saturday Sailing. We ask that you avoid being a visible presence during class time. Parents with powerboats should refrain from approaching their sailor's boat for safety and liability reasons.
Parental involvement is required for Race Team members.
All other parents are encouraged to speak with the Program Director if they are looking for ways to become more involved or if they have any questions about their child's class.
Dock space is typically available for MSA participants. The MSA Yard is leased from the Manchester Yacht Club and private boat storage is strictly prohibited. Private boats found in the yard are subject to removal.
MSA reserves the right to place and move boats as we feel appropriate. Please register storage of your boat with the Program Director.
There are generally openings for several Junior Instructors. This is a position hired during the winter by the Program Director. These sailors assist the Senior Instructors with classes. Junior Instructors are high school age sailors, highly recommended by their instructors, and chosen by merit.
If you have additional questions regarding the program, please do not hesitate to call Tommy McCormick, Program Director, at (305) 606-8660 or contact any member of the MSA Board.
