boats. If CYC club boats are not in use for the other programs it may
be possible to charter for the race teams.

be possible to charter a boat when the regular program is not running, for
example, for weekend regattas.
Chartering
is at the discretion of the Learn to Sail Director based on demand for the
boats in the other programs.
