After the successfull completion of our previous project "Fleet 2000 and beyond", SYCSA sailed into it's third project after 2007.
The two previous projects created demand for excellence and a wider sailing experiences from our sailors. Inevitably we had to launch our third project in 2008:
"Beyond Fleet 2000"
To meet new demand for training and racing opportunities
We needed to improve our facilities by adding:
6 new Toppers (5 achieved in 2008)
3 new Oppi's (Achieved in 2008)
3 new Optimists (Achieved in 2008)
3 new Pico's (1 achieved in 2008)
1 new Comet Trio
3 new Wayfarer dinghies2 new performance boats e.g. Laser 3000, 420 (Buzz bought in 2010)
A wider range of dinghies by adding e.g. a Magno, 2 RS Visions (Achieved in 2010)
6 new 4.7 Lasers
1 new road trailer to accommodate 3 dinghies
Class sails for all dinghies (Partially achieved in 2008 and 2010)
A wider range of life jackets (Achieved in 2008)
Additional spray suits (Achieved in 2008)
We needed to expand our volunteer base by:
Converting up to 15 Assistant Instructors into Dinghy Instructors by 2013 ( 7 since 2008)
Training up to 5 new Powerboat Instructors by 2013
Training up to 5 Advanced Dinghy Instructors by 2013
Training up to 5 new Senior Instructors by 2013 ( 2 since 2008)Converting up to 5 volunteers into Race Coaches/Instructors by 2013 ( 3 since 2008)
