DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach (City) provides a wide variety of sailing classes that appeal to
all ages and levels of ability. Private lessons are also available and are one of the City's
most popular options. The City's sailboat fleet is diversified from one-person dinghies that
appeal to youth, to bigger keelboats more appropriate for adults. In addition to sailing
programs and camps, the City offers stand up paddle board and kayak rentals, as well as
sailboat rentals.
The Marina Park Sailing and Boating Program has been operating since 2005. All classes
and rentals provide safety education to the general public. During the past year, the City
selected Orange Coast College (OCC) as the program's sailing contractor, providing
instructors for all the City's sailing classes. OCC uses the City's fleet of dinghies and
keelboats to conduct these community programs at Marina Park. The entire program
relies upon the City's fleet of sailboats and paddle equipment, and maintenance of the
equipment is crucial to ensuring the longevity of the program and safety of all participants.
In this year's grant, the California Division of Boating and Waterways approved multiple
refurbishment and replacement items, as well as multiple safety items. These
refurbishment items include, but are not limited to, the purchase of new keelboat and
dinghy sails, keelboat bottom paint and cleaning, lines and rigging for the sailboats,
paddle dollies and kayak seats, dock fenders, as well as a sewing machine for repairs of
sails. The safety supplies include binoculars, marine radios, reefpoints for the keelboat
sails, and the replacement of two keelboat foils.
Pending the City Council's approval of the grant, the State is prepared to execute the
agreement so that all replacement, refurbishment, and safety items may be ordered and
purchased. As stated in the grant agreement, the State will reimburse the City $40,000
for the cost of these items once the grant is executed and the items are purchased.
FISCAL IMPACT:
To be eligible for grant reimbursement, the City must appropriate $40,000 in General
Fund appropriations for the purchase of replacement and refurbishment of items related
to the Marina Park Sailing Program. The City expects to receive 100 percent of the
expenditure purchases, up to $40,000, in grant reimbursement revenue from the State
DBW.

5, 2015. Marina Park is truly a cutting-edge facility, from its sleek architecture and ample play space
to its broad recreational and facility offerings on both land and water. Marina Park is open to
everyone, year-round, and serves as an extraordinary bay -front center for fun, family, gatherings
and celebrations.
Most importantly, Marina Park's Sailing and Boating program provides cost-effective, broad access
to safe boating education for the public.
Marina Park amenities include a 10.5 acre park, bay -side facilities for events, a nautical -themed
playground, outdoor fitness circuit, basketball courts, an on-site cafe adjacent to the sailing center,
catering, a picnic area and a public marina. There are also 177 Marina Park -designated parking
spaces, which on the crowded Newport Peninsula, allow for ease of access to Manna Park. Aside
from the facility rental space, Marina Park offers classes and programs in a variety of offerings for all
ages.
The Sailing and Boating Center is front and center at the facility, with a large interior boat bay,
offices and large configuration of docks that are solely dedicated to the sailing and boating program.
Because Marina Park draws close to 190,000 visitors every year, from all over the world, it is
uniquely qualified to disseminate information and, because it is a bay -front facility with a highly
visible boating program, the City can provide unrivaled public access to classes that promote
boating safety. The potential is limitless, and the City has made a strong commitment to building its
boating safety program with the purchase of a large and varied fleet of sailboats, as well as staffing
a year-round City boating coordinator, experienced boating equipment manager, and a large pool of
part-time employees.
Marina Park draws a crowd, whether they're enjoying the park, the cafe, the beach, or marina.
Sailing and Boating staff interact with the potential future boaters every day, providing them with
general boating safety information. Marina Park is the perfect platform to provide boating safety
knowledge because of its bay -front location, beach and dock access, paddle and sailing equipment

Exhibit A
and day-to-day reach to a large and diverse audience.
When Marina Park was built six years ago, the City developed the site with the specific goal of
providing boating education and access to the public. The Sailing and Boating mission, from day
one, has been to teach people how to boat safely and provide cost-effective classes and access to
the harbor, whether it is through the variety of boating education courses the City offers, paddling, or
its sailboat rental program.
The City of Newport Beach has been providing boating safety programs for many years. It first
contracted with the University of California, Irvine, in 2009 to run its boating programs, well before
Marina Park existed, running its programs on the beach without a stand-alone facility. Upon the
completion of Marina Park, the City kept on UCI as the sailing vendor, with UCI staffing and
managing the administration of the entire boating program.
That has now changed. The City has taken over the administration of the boating program and has
hired Orange Coast College as the contracted instructor, providing the instruction for the City's
sailing classes, as well as proctoring the on -water "ratings" tests for the City's Sail Pass (sailboat
rental program.) All classes are conducted out of Marina Park, using the fleet of City sailboats. The
City made another large commitment to its boating safety program by purchasing the six J22s from
UCI, so that there would be continuity with the City program and its boating safety classes would
remain familiar to our customers. The remainder of the sailboat fleet and equipment is all owned
and maintained by the City. In addition to the six J22s, the City's fleet consists of 12 RS Quests, 2
RS Ventures, 20 Schock Sabots, 3 Lido 14s, as well as 35 SUPs and 24 Kayaks - all of which are
used for the City's sailing and boating classes. The City will also add to its fleet the two DBAW-
granted coach boats once they are delivered.
The City offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced sailing classes to people of all ages, in both
dinghies and keelboats — open seven days a week, year-round. The City also offers after school
sailing and youth camps designed specifically to teach safety to our future boaters. The City works
closely with the local elementary school, as well, providing a school specific "After Class Enrichment
(ACE)" sailing program for their students. One of the City's most popular classes is the "Parent and
Me" in which parents can accompany their children and learn together. The City summer youth
camps have always been well -attended and have taught countless youth, through the years, how to
be safe boaters.
This past spring OCC took over the instruction of the City sailing classes. US Sailing -certified
instructors conduct all classes out of the Marina Park facility and use, exclusively, the City's fleet of
sailboats, as well as coach boats (when they arrive, after the Covid shipping delay.) City staff
members oversee all registration, curriculum, and scheduling of classes, as well as play a major role
in the promotion of classes, in person, print and online. The major change from when UCI was
serving as the vendor is that, at the time, UCI staff moved into Marina Park and conducted all
operations for the City. Now, it's City staff that is running all operations, including but not limited to
running the boat bay, overseeing boating class scheduling and course curriculum, creating
promotions, operating the office, maintaining the fleet, interacting with the public, as well as creating
and executing all the policies and procedures.
The City has now also taken over the administration and operation of all the paddle rentals and
sailboat rentals (Sail Pass). With both rental entities, the City perceives this as another opportunity
to provide a boating safety message to its customers. Rather than provide a renter with a board and
paddle and shove them off the beach, our experienced and trained City staff take the time to provide
a comprehensive orientation on proper stance, holding of the paddle, technique, boat traffic, boating
rules, capsize information and safety tips. Our staff carefully explains wind direction, how to read the
wind with flags and ripples, and why the wind is a key factor in paddling, along with tides and
Contract 9 C8966332, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22, Date 02104/2022 Page: 10 of 87
3-16
Exhibit A
current. Staff encourages each of our paddlers to begin their journey paddling upwind, so that they
recognize the difference when they are met with a headwind. Although California law states that a
PFD only needs to be on board, the City rule is that all our paddlers must wear a properly fitting,
City provided, US Coast Guard approved lifejacket. Staff takes the time to fit each paddler,
explaining why a loose PFD serves no purpose. Staff ensures that each jacket is snugly fitted, and
that the paddler understands why they're wearing one.
Staff also reviews rules of the road and emergency procedures. Paddlers are taught how to climb
back onboard, should they fall off. They are taught how to stay with their craft in an emergency, and
how to hail other boaters by waving a paddle or using the provided whistle. They are also
encouraged to be aware of all other boaters on the water, to anticipate developing situations and to
stay to the sides of the channel, keeping clear of traffic.
The City does not allow walk-in sailboat renters, but instead has an internal on -water and written
ratings test system, which is designed to develop the boating safety knowledge of more experienced
sailors. Only upon successfully passing this ratings test is a sailor allowed to rent a City sailboat.
The sailor may choose between a dinghy or keelboat ratings test but must rate in each if they
choose to rent both types of boat. Many of our renters are students who have learned to sail in the
City program, and now the Sail Pass allows them access to the bay with their family and friends,
introducing more people to boating safely.
The City's boating program falls under the Recreation and Senior Services (RSS) Department of the
City. Its mission statement is "to enhance the quality of life by providing diverse opportunities in safe
and well-maintained facilities, open spaces and parks. We pledge to respond to community needs
by creating quality educational, environmental, recreational, cultural, and social programs for people
of all ages."
Under the RSS umbrella, all the City's boating programs are geared toward creating safe and
knowledgeable boaters and paddlers. The City's mission and goals for its safe boating program at
Marina Park dovetails with the Coast Guard's goals and strategies listed below "to ensure the public
has a safe, secure, and enjoyable recreational boating experience by implementing programs that
minimize the loss of life, personal injury, and property damage while cooperating with environmental
and national security efforts."
Mission and Strategic Plan of the National Recreational Boating Safety Program:
The Mission of the National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program is "to ensure the public has
a safe, secure, and enjoyable recreational boating experience by implementing programs designed
to minimize the loss of life, personal injury, and property damage while cooperating with
environmental and national security efforts. The Coast Guard has released the Strategic Plan of the
National Recreational Boating Safety Program for 2017-2021 to address the following initiatives: 1)
Improve and expand recreational boating education, training, and outreach; 2) Update, leverage,
and enforce policies, regulations, and standards; and 3) Improve upon and expand recreational
boating data collection and research.

2.a. Tell us why DBW should fund your program, not why you need the funding. In other words, how would it benefit
boaters for you to be a recipient of this funding? This is an opportunity for you to tell how your program stands
out. Give examples. For instance, do you have specific expertise, a stellar safety record, unique learning
opportunities for boaters, or other things that make your program stand out?
The City's Marina Park Sailing and Boating program is one of only a few boating safety
education operations in this area serving a population of millions.
Demand is high for public access to the water.

Exhibit A
• The City of Newport Beach has provided sailing and boating classes for decades.
• The City has an exceptional safety record; never having an incident in any of its sailing
programs.
• The Marina Park facility is centrally located, and offers a wide variety of sailing classes, as
well as comprehensive boating safety orientations for paddlers.
• Because of its beautiful, public bayfront location, Marina Park draws residents and visitors
from all over the world. This provides a unique opportunity to reach "non -boating" segments
of the population with a boating safety message.
• Sailing and Boating offers a Sail Pass program for students to continue their boating
adventure by renting the City's sailboats, upon successful completion of an internal boating
safety testing process — yet another opportunity to reach customers with a boating safety
message.
• Sailing and Boating offers a variety of sailing classes for all ages and levels of ability;
students can choose to learn in five different types of sailboats, including both dinghies and
keelboats.
• Sailing and Boating has a fleet of 43 sailboats dedicated to learning.
• The City has staffed three full-time and at least 13 part-time employees to run Sailing and
Boating seven days a week, year-round.
• Sailing and Boating provides cost-effective access to the water for the general public.
With more than three million residents in Orange County, this is the third most populous county in
California and the sixth most populous in the United States. Newport Harbor is the largest
recreational boat harbor on the US west coast, and a popular destination for all boating activities,
including sailing, fishing, rowing, kayaking and paddle boarding.
Now more than ever with the Covid-related influx of boaters, there is a significant need for boating
safety education here in the harbor. Our program in Newport Beach stands out because, despite the
millions of residents and visitors, Marina Park Sailing and Boating is one of only a few operations in
town that provide public access to Newport Harbor, along with boating education for the general
public. And the City runs Sailing and Boating seven days a week, year-round with three full-time and
at least 13 part-time employees.
The City of Newport Beach has been offering sailing classes, contracting with outside instructors, for
decades. The City has provided boating safety knowledge to thousands of people of all ages. There
has never been a safety incident (knock on wood) in any of the sailing classes or rentals. Safety is
the City's number one priority in all its classes and rentals, with fun closely ranked behind safety.
The City requires every sailor and every paddler to wear a lifejacket while on the water, so the US
Coast Guard message is regularly repeated to thousands of City boating customers every year. City
staff doesn't simply hand over lifejackets but, instead, works with each boater to properly fit and
secure their lifejacket, explaining why a snug fit is mandatory.
The sheer number of visitors to Marina Park every year makes this venue a unique and ideal
platform for disseminating boating safety information. Many visitors walking by are drawn in, seeing
the City's fleet of sailboats and paddle equipment, curious about our programs and what we provide.
This gives us an excellent opportunity to reach people who would not normally be interested in
boating — thinking there wasn't a route for them to get involved. This segment of the population
might only find themselves, as a guest, on a boat once or twice, with zero knowledge of how to boat
safely, leaving them vulnerable on the water. We can pique an interest and provide classes for
beginners which, in turn, develops safe boaters out of this previously "non -boating" demographic.
For the demographic that is already interested in boating, Marina Park is an exciting option
because, not only do we provide the classes from beginning through advanced in both dinghies and
Contract k C8966332. City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22. Date: 02/04/2022 Page: 12 of 87

Exhibit A
keelboats, but the City then has the Sail Pass program, which provides access so a City -educated
sailor may continue their journey with family and friends. To participate in the City Sail Pass
program, the sailor must take an internal on -water and written "ratings" boating safety test in either a
dinghy, keelboat or both separately to be able to take out those boats. Once a prospective sailor
passes a City -proctored written test, the City's contracted sailing instructor administers a three-hour,
on -water assessment, which is designed to determine if the sailor is a safe and qualified boater, as
well as to provide familiarization with our sailboats. The ratings test is also available to experienced
sailors, who have not taken City classes. Any experienced sailor must "rate" with us before using
City boats to enjoy the water with family and friends. All sailors must be able to swim and wear
properly fitted lifejackets.
The City provides a wide variety of sailing classes that appeal to all ages and levels of ability. Some
classes are structured with the instructor onboard to provide an additional comfort level for the
uncertain beginner. Classes are designed to try to accommodate people's busy lives, so there's
always a class available, whether it's a four-day, two-day, week-long, or solely a few hours of
sailing. Private lessons are also available and are one of the City's most popular options.
The sailboat fleet that the City owns is diversified; from one-person dinghies that appeal to our
youth, to bigger keelboats that provide more comfort for our older demographic. The City owns 20
Schock sabots, three Lido 14's, two RS Ventures, six J22s and 12 RS Quests. Instructors are
always active sailors, certified by US Sailing, with years of coaching and sailing experience. The
City staff hired to run Marina Park Sailing and Boating includes several experienced boaters, as well
as staff who have been involved since the inception of the Marina Park program.
In terms of safety at the facility, Marina Park has always had two safety boats on the docks,
prepared with floating tow -line, small step ladder, spare lifejackets, as well as a prop guard. The
safety boats have always been on the water during any classes and camps, for more than just
instructional purposes. They have been used as a safety platform, close to the on -water activity and
ready to respond, if ever needed. In fact, the safety boat has responded on two separate occasions
(not related to our boating program), when swimmers off the public bay beach needed rescuing. Our
instructors responded, even before the beach lifeguard, and pulled struggling swimmers to safety.
All the instructors who work at Marina Park have always been CPR/First Aid certified. In addition, all
the instructors who have been hired to teach boating safety for the City have always carried a US
Sailing instructor Level 1 certification. The docks at Marina Park all have safety ladders at different
locations on the docks, as well as life rings, ready to be tossed to anyone in the water.

Objective 1 - Qualified Candidate with Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 4)
Organization demonstrates targeted approach to identified boating safety education needs and utilizes
curriculum that addresses those needs
3.a. List up to three significant boating safety problems affecting boaters at large that you have identified in your
area. (Covid-19 issues, fires, or problems specific to your organization such as staffing shortages or trainings,
that do not affect boaters at large are outside the scope of this question.)
Overcrowding remains the number one most significant boating safety problem in Newport
Harbor. Competing uses of our bay between a variety of different types of boaters is a key
concern and has only been exacerbated by the Covid-19 boat buying phenomenon. With
nothing else to do other than outdoor activities this past year, people in this area are
flocking to the water, either in previously owned boats or by purchasing new boats.
With more than 9,000 boats docked and moored in Newport Harbor, our bay where we
conduct all our classes is overcrowded, particularly in the summer and even more so
during the pandemic. On any given day throughout the year, there are multiple, competing
uses, including rentals, day boaters, competitive sailors training and racing, charter boats,
ferries, rowers, fishermen in floats, an anchorage, moorings, gondolas, small party charter
boats (hot tubs, pedaling bars) - to name a few.
Couple the crowding with the fact that most of the boaters are inexperienced and, in many
cases, inept. Even the bigger powerboaters are obviously not educated. They simply liked
a boat, so they bought it, without taking any instructional classes. Fenders out, we see
them putting out huge wake, which damages all the boats on docks — not to mention being
a menacing force bearing down on other boaters. When faced with a crowded situation or
sailboats on the water, instead of slowing down and standing by, these operators gun their
boats at increased speed, putting out ocean -sized wake and creating an exceptional safety
hazard.
The rental operations around the harbor rent out electric motor Duffy's, as well as a slew of
paddleboards, kayaks, and fishing skiffs. No experience is required and, often, this is the
first time these renters have ventured out onto Newport Harbor - or even onto the water.
Contract # C8966332, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22, Date 0220412022 Page: 14 of 87
3-20
Exhibit A
We speak from personal experience that our instructors have rescued more rental
paddleboards (from other operations) than we can remember. Renters are shoved off the
beach by the other concession stands with no instruction, holding the paddles incorrectly,
paddling down the middle of the channel oblivious to any other traffic, not wearing
lifejackets, and incapable of paddling upwind at the end of the day because no one
instructed them on wind and current.
Finally, there are enormous charter boats that cruise with parties and weddings onboard
through the federal channel. Although they are professionally captained and travel at slow
speeds, they are slow and difficult to maneuver, posing an added danger to the
uneducated boaters on the water, who cut right in front of them.
In all, our bay, which draws so many visitors, has a distinct need for the boater safety
education that we provide. Despite not teaching powerboat education, the City produces
knowledgeable sailors, who then are competent enough to exercise their skills on their
pleasure outings with friends and families.
Objective 1 - Qualified Candidate with Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 5)
3.b. For each safety problem identified in 3.a, how did you determine that the identified problems were significant?
It only takes a trip on to Newport Harbor on a sunny day to recognize that overcrowding is
a problem for our local boaters. Personally owned and rental electric boats, SUPs, big and
little powerboats, sailboats, moored boats, charter boats, and rowers all compete for water
space in the harbor.
Newport Harbor is one of the largest recreational harbors in the United States. Because of
our local, typically beautiful weather, boating activity takes place year-round in our harbor
and, most sunny days, thousands of recreational boaters use our harbor. Surprisingly and
thankfully, despite the overcrowding, there are few injuries and deaths reported.
There is a 5mph speed limit for vessels cruising in Newport Harbor, which obviously factors
into keeping bay boaters safe. But the sheer number of unqualified boaters on a busy day
creates an unsafe dynamic for the novice boater.
Newport Harbor truly is the jewel of the City of Newport Beach. The City has a Harbor
Commission, whose seven members are appointed by the City Council for their expertise
in water quality, boating, land use, recreation, and marine safety. The purpose of the
Harbor Commission is to provide the City of Newport Beach with an advisory body
representing these diverse uses of Newport Harbor and its waterfront. Also, the
Commission is tasked with providing counsel to the City Council in all matters pertaining to
the use, control, operation, promotion and regulation of all vessels and watercraft within
Newport Harbor.
The Commission brings representatives of all boating interests together so that they are
consistently working toward sharing our waterways and implementing best practices. For
example, one of the Commission's current goals is to continue a dialogue with
representatives of the Harbor Charter Fleet industry, other commercial vessel operators
and rental concessionaires to promote best practices for all charter and commercial boat
operations in Newport Harbor.
The boating education operations on Newport Harbor, sailing schools, yacht clubs, aquatic

Exhibit A
rowing centers, and charter companies have open communication between them, working
together to best share the bay and keep it safe.
Objective 1 - Qualified Candidate with Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 6)
3.c. How does the material covered in the course curriculums that you offer directly address these identified
problems? Provide specific examples of material in your curriculum(s) that directly relate to the issues described
in 3.a.
The US Coast Guard says the top ten contributing factors to boating accidents include the
following:
Operator inattention
Operator lookout
Operator inexperience
Excessive speeding
Alcohol use
Machinery failure
Navigation rules violation
Hazardous weather conditions
Hazardous water conditions
Excessive force of wave or wake
Each of these contributing factors is exacerbated by overcrowding, and our classes are
designed to give sailors the tools to recognize and avoid these critical missteps. Our
instructors are at least US Sailing Level 1 certified, and our curriculum follows US Sailing's
suggested teachings, providing extensive information to our students on, but not limited to,
the following topics that help our sailors navigate safely in our overcrowded harbor:
Wind direction - the key concept in sailing:Knowing how to read the wind is the first critical
step in keeping a sailor safe and in control. Being in absolute control of a sailboat at all
times, regardless of not having an engine, helps prevent accidents.
Man Overboard Drill - Instructors practice tossing lifejackets into the water simulating
overboard recovery - a good exercise for newer sailors to perfect, helping them to become
more familiar with handling a boat in tight circumstances. Instruction includes alerting the
crew "man overboard," immediately tossing a lifejacket to the person in the water, how to
spot the person in the water and immediately bearing off to circle or figure eight around
and approach slowly and in control upwind.
Returning to and Leaving the Dock - both critical concepts to master in an overcrowded
bay. Instructors work with students, especially beginning students, individually talking
them off the dock and onto the course. Students learn how to "shove off' in the proper
direction, always aware of the wind direction and the traffic in the channel off the dock.
They are taught how to properly balance the boat and gain speed and steerage as they
depart. More advanced students are taught how backwinding sails can assist with steering
control. Returning to the dock, students are taught how to slow down in the controlled
"safety position" so they avoid getting caught in irons, but instead glide slowly into the
dock, with the bow just off the wind. Beginners are taught to drop or furl their jibs before
they dock for less sail power, while more experienced sailors are taught how backwinding
Contract # C8966332, City of Newport Beach. Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22, Date 02/0472022 Page: 16 of 87
3-22
Exhibit A
the main and big tiller movements can also slow a boat.
Safety Position - how to slow your boat in order to stand-by to avoid a collision or to return
to the dock slowly. As mentioned above, students are taught the "safety position." Again,
absolute control of the boat at all times is a fundamental pillar of our teachings. If a sailor
has absolute control at all times, this significantly reduces the risk of accidents and
injuries.
"Right of Way" rules - the most important of which is to avoid a collision at all costs. This
requires an alert skipper who is aware of traffic and knowledgeable of the rules. Sailors are
taught to maintain a proper lookout, keeping in mind that most boaters don't know the
rules, so never to force their way on the water. Common sense and courtesy are essential
when sailing on our bay. We explain to all our students to never assume the other boater
knows what they're doing. We teach our students to always anticipate that the other
boater may not react or turn in the manner we are expecting, and to always keep clear, be
in control and have a Plan B to avoid collisions.
Safe speed - stated speed is 5 knots for powerboats. When sailing in Newport Harbor, the
Inland Right of Way Rules apply. When boats are moving close, we teach our students
which boat is "stand on" and which is "give way". We teach that there are rules that
apply between different types of craft on the water, as well as rules that apply when there
are commercial boats and large boats in confined waterways (our harbor.)
Our curriculum covers how to make a course change so that another boater is clear
regarding your intentions, as well as how to approach another vessel coming head-on.
Overtaking boats keeping clear is also covered. As mentioned, we have rowers on our
bay, and our students are taught that the rowers cannot maneuver or slow down easily,
and that often they cannot see well.
Charter Boats - Because Newport Harbor is considered a confined waterway, our
students know that they may not impede the passage of large boats, and that the large
charter boats have limited abilities to maneuver at low speeds.
Traffic patterns - In Newport, generally boaters should stay to the right, but our sailors are
taught to never cross directly in front of another boat. There are mooring fields in Newport
and we teach our sailors and paddlers to stay out of them. We also teach our boaters to
keep an eye peeled for rowers, other paddlers, electric boat rentals and the ferry. We also
have lots of competitive sailors on the bay, and we teach our boaters how to steer clear.
Motorboats vs. sailboats - Our instructors teach that our sailors should above all keep
clear, regardless of whether they have right of way, assuming that the other boater is not
knowledgeable. However, we of course teach starboard, port, leeward, windward, who
has right of way, as well as other rules of the road.
Ferries - Instructors teach that our sailors should always avoid the ferries and plan their
passage to accomplish this.
Objective 2 - Candidate has boating safety education courses and outreach available and accessible to the

Orange Coast College Sailing and Seamanship
Boy Scouts of America Sea Base
Variety of yacht clubs
These are the main programs within the bay offering boating safety courses. The yacht clubs teach
sailing, but their focus is on competition, which the City does not focus upon. The Sea Base
provides Boy Scouts merit badge youth camps of all sorts, on and off the water, including youth
sailing, however they do not provide any adult sailing classes. Also, the Sea Base uses different
types of instructional dinghies than the City offers for its classes. Finally, Orange Coast College
offers youth and adult classes, however their boats used for sailing classes are, again, totally
different, providing a different learning experience. OCC also offers ocean navigation, engine
maintenance and repair, long distance ocean sailing and cruising, and powerboat classes - all
outside the realm of what the City of Newport Beach is offering. In fact, we find that OCC is a good
complement to the City classes, as we focus upon the strict beginner giving them the skills in either
dinghies or keelboats, so that they can become confident skippers within our harbor. For the sailors
who then advance to offshore boating, navigation and powerboating, OCC provides the next step of
instruction. During the past few months, since OCC came onboard as the sailing vendor for the
City, both entitites have found great synergy, meshing their programs so that the student has the
best of opportunities.

12.b What are the limitations, if any, that these funding sources place upon your program spending? (i.e., parent
organization will only fund staffing expenses, certain type of activities, or other expenses.)
It's important to note that the City regards Marina Park Sailing and Boating as a community service,
and has made an extraordinary commitment to providing boating education and access to the
public. Not only did it purchase the six J22s from UCI, upon its departure more than a year ago, but
the City also owns the entire fleet of sailboats here at Manna Park. In addition, the City covers the
yearly employment costs of its full and part-time staffers.
A yearly budget is set by the City, and Sailing and Boating is allotted $5,000 yearly for its program.
Any additional budgetary items above a certain threshhold or pricing increases must be approved
through City Council. As you can imagine, running this program and maintaining a fleet of 42 boats,
including the two DBAW coach boats far exceeds that $5,000 line item. Last year, the DBAW grant
allowed Sailing and Boating to purchase two coach boats, as our former coach boats departed with
UCI when they left Marina Park. We cannot run this program without coach boats, so DBAW funding
is critical to this program's existence.

13. Conducting Evaluation 8r Implementing Improvements
13.a List one important program improvement that was implemented in the last calendar year:
Contract N C8966332, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22. Dale 02/0412022 Page: 22 of 87
3-28
Exhibit A
The City of Newport Beach closed Marina Park because of Covid-19 last fiscal year for about five
months in total. When the County allowed the first recreation businesses to begin opening, the City
slowly began to re -open parts of its Sailing and Boating operations in a methodical fashion.
Coupled with all the Covid restrictions, Sailing and Boating was also simultaneously undergoing a
large restructuring as UCI departed as manager of the program and the City took over a large
percentage of the program's operations, including the management of the entire program, along
with the administration of the Sail Pass and paddle rental programs. During this time, the City was
also onboarding a new sailing vendor to provide the sailing instruction for its classes.
It has been a productive year — with an overarching goal of improving upon every system within
Sailing and Boating, by virtue of the City taking control of its program. Because of all the disruption
and change caused by Covid, it is difficult to say the City pinpointed one area for improvement
specifically. The entire restructuring was designed to improve the function of Sailing and Boating,
and to bring the program to the next level. The goal was to re -open successfully under new
management, onboard a new sailing vendor, and provide stellar customer service, teaching people
to access the water in a safe manner.
With that said, the City is always looking for ways to improve upon its procedures and classes, as
well as analyzing instructor performance.
To identify areas for improvement, City Recreation managers conduct periodic audits of classes and
camps run by City contracted instructors. These audits measure overall instructor performance
including, but not limited to enthusiasm, positive attitude, warmth, empathy, knowledge, patience,
helpfulness, preparation, effectiveness, clarity and appearance. Contracted instructors are assessed
and provided with constructive feedback. The City also holds bi-annual contract instructor meetings
with all contracted City instructors to train, go over policies, procedures, and set expectations for the
upcoming program seasons. If desired, we can provide a PDF that gives an idea of what is covered
at these meetings.
The City is invested in providing excellent customer service and solicits feedback after every class.
The City sends out surveys to program participants at the end of their class period as an
assessment. Customer feedback is gathered regarding the following: instructor's ability to
communicate, keep students active and engaged, overall teaching quality, expectations and were
they met, would customer repeat the class, things they'd change about the class and things they
liked most about the class.
The City also puts together a summary at the end of each quarter that gives a snapshot of its
findings. This is for all programs throughout the City, not just Sailing & Boating. Positive notes are
distributed through the City Manager's newsletter, and feedback is provided to instructors as well as
considered in the planning process for future classes.
From these surveys, certain problems surface with associated suggestions, like considering more
full day options for campers, improved parking or drop off areas, sending photos from the classes
and progress reports. These suggestions are easily identified, managed and improved upon.
In terms of providing a tangible example of one improvement, we offer that our improvement goal
was to re -open under new management and see success in terms of customers served and boating
education provided through the variety of smoothly -functioning Sailing and Boating programs. The
City has recognized that Sailing and Boating met that improvement goal.

13 c. What benefits have you noticed since implementing the improvement?
As explained in the earlier question, the City looked upon the management restructuring of the
Sailing and Boating program as a large area of improvement. The restructuring of program
oversight was intended to improve and streamline all operations. City staff now runs the program
from its facility at Marina Park, rather than an outside entity stepping into that role. City staff is
familiar with the umbrella organization and all its policies, procedures, work systems and points
of sale, which makes the execution of the programs much easier.
The City onboarded and trained new staff to run the day-to-day operations, as well as the
management of the program. With all the Covid curveballs, the main goal was to re -open
methodically and safely. During a difficult time, the City generated Sailing and Boating business
and provided boating safety information and instruction to thousands of people.
By taking over the management of Sailing and Boating, the City has eliminated a layer of
administration, which streamlines the day-to-day operations. From marketing and promotions to
structuring pricing and onboarding staff, City staff have been running operations more smoothly
than in the past. Decisions are made easily and much more quickly, benefitting the customer. In
addition, without the additional layer of UCI running the program, the City was able to re -open
Sailing and Boating during the pandemic far more quickly than UCI would have been allowed to.
Despite Covid, we have seen increased interest in the Sailing and Boating programs. Since re-
opening the Sail Pass program last October, the City has welcomed 134 sailors, who have all
passed a comprehensive "ratings" process and are now renting City sailboats and sharing the
sport with their families and friends. The City currently has an additional 51 sailors in its "ratings"
process, which includes a written test as well as an on -water assessment that sailors must pass
in order to use the City sailboats. The City has worked with individuals in 1700 separate sales,
providing comprehensive safety and equipment orientations to each group before their paddling
outing. The City has issued 213 "Paddle Punch" passes to customers who enjoy repeated
paddling. Each point of contact with the customer is an opportunity to provide safety information
and, in the case of repeat customers, an opportunity to build upon existing boating safety
knowledge.
Since re -opening sailing classes in April, the City has instructed 252 students in its sailing
classes and coached more than 200 children in its summer camps.
The vibrancy of this program with significant interest from the general public despite Covid
restrictions shows the improvements the City has made.
Objective 3 -To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-4)
14. What methods do you use ensure that your programming stays current with new trends?
The City of NB offers a large variety of recreational classes to the public, accommodating all ages,
infants to seniors. Because it offers so many different classes, including sailing and boating, the
City must hire out contract instructors who are specialists in each field of recreation. There is no
way the City could staff specialist instructors in the myriad of programs it offers.
Contract k C8966332. City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22, Date: 02/04/2022 Page: 24 of 87
3-30
Exhibit A
However, the Sailing and Boating program runs differently because there is City staff managing this
one program, and the City has made a large financial commitment with the purchase of equipment
dedicated to sailing and boating. The City has a vested interest in ensuring its Sailing and Boating
program is successful. The only aspect of this program that is contracted out is the hiring of the
expert instructors to teach the classes. The City staff members hired to manage this program are
qualified to instruct, but the City has dedicated this internal staff to developing, implementing and
managing the program's procedures and day to day operations.
All the coaches who teach the City sailing classes are certified, at least, as US Sailing Level 1
instructors, and our City coordinator and equipment manager are both US Sailing members and
active sailors and racers with extensive boating and sailing experience, both personally and
professionally. Thus, staff is directly tied into the latest coaching techniques, lesson plans and
equipment developments from US Sailing and other resources. Because some of our staff and
instructors are actively involved in competition across the country, they are exposed to sailors and
coaches from all over, as well as other community boating centers, which often host regattas.
Interaction with other community boating managers is often helpful with a variety of topics including
teaching, pricing, equipment, and administration. In addition to staffs personal contacts within the
boating community, DBW provides an excellent resource of boating managers in California. The
workshops are helpful, particularly with the open conversation centering on how each agency
approaches running its individual program.
The City also relies upon customer feedback, actively soliciting input and distributing customer and
instructor surveys after each class.

Large Purchases
Vessels, engines, trailers, storage sheds, modular docking, etc. should be listed individually on the equipment worksheet. A fleet of similar items is considered one item
with a single worksheet, such as 5 Opti Sailboats or 2 engines, etc. If a vessel will be purchased with an engine and a trailer as a set, the group should be listed as one
item and share a worksheet. Under Item, you will list Safety Boat and in the Specific Items in Group, you will list all the items in the group; boat, engine, trailer, etc. You
should also group other purchases that come as a set for example; a sailboat purchase that comes with sails, rudder, and mast; or kayaks that come with seatbacks and
paddles.
Grouping Other Items
You should use the categories listed below to group other purchases that have similar justifications into one equipment worksheet line item.
Categories are: Supplies-Replacement/Refurbishment Items, Supplies -Safety Items, and Supplies -Miscellaneous Items. For example, safety items such as
lifejackets, radios, whistles, wetsuits, etc. may have a similar justification and should be requested in a group on one equipment worksheet line item.
On the cost estimate worksheet, keep the items within the main category as a single line item and then in the Notes section at the end of that line item, you will list the
specific items that make up that group and their approximate costs.
If you are unsure whether or not to group specific items, please ask DBW staff for assistance.

As you can imagine, maintaining a fleet of 42 sailboats, plus a large inventory of paddle equipment is a huge commitment. Maintenance is a never-
ending task, like painting the Golden Gate bridge; once you're nearing the end of the paint job, it's time to start all over again. The City has a dedicated
equipment maintenance staffer who works solely on Sailing and Boating equipment, which he's maintained in excellent condition since Marina Park
opened in 2415.
J22 jibs, J22 spinnakers, J22 spinnaker and jib sheets, RS Quest jibs and mainsails, sewing machine
The J22s, however, have been around much longer than Marina Park, with a much longer lifespan, built in 2011. Upon UCI's departure from Marina
Park, the City purchased the six J22s from UCI to provide continuity with its sailing programs, classes, and Sail Pass. The boats are quite old, with a lot
of mileage on them. Jibs and spinnakers have never been replaced, and the sails are so old they can be wadded up into balls (which is not ideal for
sail performance.) We roll and fold sails neatly (no wadding), but they are in dire need of replacement. The spinnakers are so worn, they easily tear
each time they're used, hence the requested sewing machine which will allow us to try to extend the life of our equipment by completing our own
repairs. Without sails that function, there will be no more sailing classes to teach on water safety and develop new boaters.
With the new jibs and spinnakers, we'll need new sheets (lines), as the old sheets are fraying and don't feed through cleats or blocks easily. This could
be a safety hazard if a line catches and the sail doesn't release because it's frayed, causing a loss of steerage and a potential accident.
Contract # C8966332, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22, Date: 0210412022
Page: 28 of 87
3-34
Exhibit A
The City's most popular adult and youth classes use the RS Quests, hence the normal wear and tear on those sails, both mains and jibs. As there are
12 Quests in the fleet, Sailing and Boating would slowly like to replace the sails in pairs. The Quest sails, much like the J22 sails, have lost any
crispness despite proper maintenance and stowing properly rolled in sail bags inside the boat bay. Old sails lose their effectiveness, becoming
stretched out and saggy. No longer are students able to use the various tools on the boat that shape sails, like the downhaul, outhaul and boomvang,
because the sails have been stretched. Also, because the Quest sails are so stretched, the halyard sometimes slips, causing the boom to come down,
which could potentially injure someone. While our community boating center does not need high performance sails, the years of use, including the flip
tests, have taken their toll on these sails.
Both the J22s and the RS Quests are the "work horses" for the City boating program. Every class that the City offers relies upon these boats, so not
only do they get a lot of use, but after all these years, their parts are wearing out. All the City sailing classes are geared toward producing safe boaters
and reducing accidents on the water. Typically, in the boating world, sailors are much better boaters than the average power boater. Sailing is a
cerebral sport, not limited to turning a key and pushing a throttle. We can guarantee that all of the sailors who take the City courses are much better
boaters than the average powerboater on the water. Each sailing class teaches proper controlled operation of the vessel as well as rules of the road.
Without usable sails, the sailing program and all its safe boating benefits will cease.
We sourced three separate quotes for the J22 sails and have provided the most reasonable quote. The sails for the RS Quest come directly from RS,
the manufacturer.
Keelboat and coach boat bottom cleaning, new bottom paint for J22s and RS Ventures
While we haul the RS Quests onto the dock, the J22s and RS Ventures are keelboats, live in the water, and attract bottom growth. We regularly clean
the bottoms of our keelboats, but over time the bottom paint wears off. As with any keelboat, that bottom paint needs to be replaced, which requires the
boat to be hauled. Because our water in Newport Harbor is typically warm, the growth thickens rapidly, particularly once the anti -fouling bottom paint
starts to wear off. The bottom paint is critical to our boats' longevity, and our keelboats are due for bottom paint. We provided the most cost-effective
quote we could find in the area.
RS Quest mainsheet cleats
The City owns 12 RS Quests, which we've successfully taught classes with since 2015. None of these boats have mainsheet cleats, and there has
been some demand for cleats to be installed. Some instructors like to teach beginners without the option of a cleat, as it creates less risk for a capsize,
if the beginner student unwittingly leaves a sail cleated and gets hit by a puff. However, a mainsheet cleat is a standard piece of equipment for any
sailboat, so the City would like to install cleats on half of its Quest fleet. Developing sailors need to know how to use a cleat properly, and the cleat can
be used as a safety tool in certain situations.
SUP dollies, kayak seats
The City manages a fleet of 35 SUPS and 24 kayaks that it uses for several different classes, including youth camps, After School Sailing and Parent &
Me. In the sailing classes, the paddle equipment is used to teach about boating in general, about tides, wildlife, and rules of the road. Paddling

Exhibit A
equipment is a unique tool, especially with children, to keep students engaged. Sailing is a cerebral sport and requires an intense amount of
concentration. Students, particularly younger ones with shorter attention spans, benefit from occasionally stepping out of the sailboat onto paddle
equipment to change the classroom environment.
Also, the City uses the SUPS and kayaks to capture a significant number of entry-level boating customers by providing a drop-in rental option. Each
drop-in rental consists of a 25 -minute boating safety orientation class, which is described in the Check Sheet. From October 1, 2020 until September
30, 2021, the City provided 1469 unique drop-in rentals (at least 2,938 paddlers as no one paddles alone), as well as sold 156 individual paddle punch
cards. For every paddler who goes out, staff provides that comprehensive boating safety orientation class (detailed in the Check Sheet.)
This is a phenomenal opportunity to capture the entry-level boater with a safety and instructional method. Visitors to Marina Park might see the
sailboats and not have confidence that they could get on the water, but with paddling as an option, this entices people to give boating a try. The City is
reaching an untapped audience of entry-level boaters with a boating safety lesson. Every paddler wants to come back after they've had their initial
experience because City staff has provided them with the tools, prior to their departure, to feel confident and safe on the water. And, unlike other paddle
rental operations, the City has never had to perform a single rescue of a stranded paddler, because our orientation class has properly prepared our
paddlers to assess wind, current, boat traffic, rules, routes and righting techniques.
With thousands of students using the City equipment during the course of a year, the wear and tear in a saltwater environment is significant. The kayak
seats, while thoroughly rinsed and stored after each use, are starting to come apart, with the seat back "stays" popping through the seat back material.
City staff has used needle and thread to patch the holes, but the material is breaking down and the repairs won't last. The City is also in need of an
additional SUP and kayak dolly to accommodate the increased demand for paddling use, spread between camps, classes and drop -ins. We're
requesting dollies from the same manufacturer as our current dollies, as they've held up exceedingly well over the past six years.
Fenders
With 42 boats in the fleet, it is critical that our docks have appropriate fenders to ward off any scrapes and damage to the boats. While our larger
keelboats have fenders on board, the fenders that do most of the work protecting the keelboats and coach boats are permanently attached to the dock.
They are tied to the docks in a systematic format, along with the affixed lines, so that, when a boat docks, the sailor comes to a precise area on the
dock. This way the boat rides perfectly on the fender, and the boats are tied up perfectly after each use. After six years of use at Marina Park, the
fenders are beginning to deteriorate and need replacement.
All the items requested in this category support the Sailing and Boating program and the dissemination of a boating safety message to hundreds, if not
thousands of students every year. The detriment to not receiving these items is that our equipment will either get damaged or completely fail and not be
usable for our programming.

Marine Radios
Currently, Sailing and Boating does not have any marine radios, as UCI took the radio system when it departed. City staff has no contact with

Exhibit A
instructors or sailors on the water during classes, other than via cell phone. Having this added form of communication is an obvious safety
improvement, as communication is critical any time a boater is on the water..
Binoculars
Binoculars go hand in hand with the radios, as City staff can more easily track sailors and paddlers on the water. Marina Park is located at one end of
the bay, but there is a long line of sight down the bay, for good viewing with binoculars. Binoculars give staff the option of seeing our customers and
their progress — in the distance. This helps staff anticipate any needs of the customer and return times to the dock. Marina Park is a public facility, so
the main dock is open to boaters using the facility. Sailing and Boating does close off a portion of the dock to accommodate our sailors. Binoculars
would allow us to see our sailors and time their return, to ensure that the docks are open for their arrival.
J22 mainsail reef points
Of our six J22's, four of them currently have reefing points in their sails. When the breeze picks up, we have been relying more often on the two boats
that can be reefed. It allows sailing class to happen when the wind is building, rather than not making it on to the water. Reducing the sail area in
breeze dramatically increases the control a sailor has over the J22. It reduces the load on the sail, decreasing the heel and weather helm. For
beginning sailors in class, it makes a huge difference, allowing them to build confidence on a breezy day. And, every sailor, for safety reasons, should
know how to reef a sail in case they are overpowered while on the water. Without these reefing points added to the J22 sails, the sails are impossible to
reef.
RS Venture keel foils
The two City RS Ventures need new keel foils as they are showing signs of electrolysis and corrosion. While the keel of the boat is supported mainly
by the strut, without the foil, the strut will flop around. The boat wouldn't sail properly and would be a safety hazard. The Ventures are used primarily for
the City's entry level sailing classes as they are stable, more light weight than the J22, and easily maneuverable, steering more like a dinghy. Clearly,
having an unstable keel would make using these boats impossible.

or skills evaluation skills evaluation for any of our classes - that may change moving
forward. Instructors are always aware of our students competency
levels. By virtue of being on the water working with our students
(often in the boat with the student in this class), the instructors can
see, regardless of formal written testing, whether a student is
meeting the criteria needed to advance to the next level. By the
end of class, instructors ask students to meet the minimum criteria
of the class curriculum. In the event that a student is only meeting
the minimum criteria, instructors will suggest to sailors that they
repeat the Introductory class. Students in a class all learn at
different paces, so the instructor will work with students
individually, based upon their unique level of learning, but will not
advance them to Beginner Sailing, sailing without a coach in the
boat, until they demonstrate adequate skills confidently.

Introduction to Sailing - Dinghy is an entry-level first experience class. It's designed for the person
who's not sure if sailing is going to be the pastime for them. By simply making the class one day and
three hours, the student gets a feel for the very basics of sailing and safety - without making a huge
time or financial commitment. Instructors reveiw all the safety elements of 9 A -C. For example,
lifejackets are incredibly important and students are taught how to check to see if the jacket is Coast
Guard approved, weight limit for the vest, how to loosen buckles, how to fit a jacket properly, and
how to be sure to snug the jacket firmly. We have displays that show a person with a loosely fitting
jacket floating up over their head in the water, which demonstrates how that jacket will serve no
purpose, unless it's snugly fitted.
In this class, the beginner is introduced to weather and wind, tides, and how those factor into sailing.
Students learn how to "see" the wind by looking at flags and mast head flys on boats. All of the
safety elements are covered, but as this is only a three-hour class, the topics are not delved into too
deeply. However, the absolute benefit of this class is that for just a minor commitment, this student
is generally hooked into the sport of sailing. A high percentage of these students come back and
register for our four-week Beginner Sailing - Dinghy class.

Students move at different paces learning how to sail and some
don't catch on as quickly as others. Instructors will determine on
the water if students have mastered all the basics of sailing,
watching as students sail on all points of sail, looking for
demonstration of critical knowledge, like wind direction, docking,
rigging, tacking, jibing, boat handling, rules of the road, control of
the boat and steering. If a student does not have the basics down,
the instructor will definitely recommend that they repeat the
Beginner class.

Exhibit A
Description: This 4 -session beginner class is perfect for those with little to no experience who wish
to learn how to sail on beautiful Newport Harbor! You will learn the fundamentals of how to rig and
de -rig the boat, points of sail, how to tack and jibe, and basic rules of the road. You will be sailing
our 14' dinghies by the end of the first day!
Beginner Sailing - Dinghy is one of the City's most popular sailing classes. There are people who
walk by the facility every day, saying they always wanted to try sailing, so we suggest they start with
this course. This 4 -session beginner class is perfect for those with little to no experience who wish
to learn how to sail on beautiful Newport Harbor. Students learn the fundamentals of how to rig and
de -rig the boat, points of sail, how to tack and jibe, and basic rules of the road. Students start off
each class with a chalk talk going over basic sailing terminology. They learn the parts of the boat,
with particular emphasis on the tiller and the mainsheet. They learn about the points of sail, how to
read the wind, and how to capture the wind efficiently in their sails. During the first class, they are
already sailing our 14' dinghies with a crew by themselves. We find that the Figure 8 drill, set
between two reaching buoys, works well as we emphasize only tacking at first (no jibing) and
reaching tends to be the easiest point of sail.
All the safety topics listed above are also covered, both in the chalk talk, demonstrated while on the
water, and finally reviewed in a post -sailing on -shore debrief. If the student does not master the
basics of sailing and feel confident about moving onto Intermediate Sailing, this class is an ideal
class to repeat as instructors can work with each student individually, building upon information the
student has already picked up.

take our on water skill evaluation and written test.
A good rule of thumb for our instructors is for them to ask
themselves, "Would I want this person hopping in my personal
sailboat by themselves and going for a sail?" If the answer is no,
then the student repeats the Intermediate class. Clearly, there is a
checklist of minimum standards that an instructor looks for in an
intermediate sailor: complete control of the boat, ability to
maneuver and slow down, docking prowess, rigging and right of
way knowledge, ability to sail on all points of the wind, ability to
read the wind from flags and ripples - to name a few areas.

If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced

Description: This 4 -session class is perfect for intermediate dinghy sailors. Students will build on
their basic skills and learn the finer points of boat handling and sail theory while sailing on beautiful
Newport Harbor. The class will have an emphasis on developing confidence for sailing alone in the
14' RS Quest.
As with all our other classes, the topics in A -C are covered. In the Intermediate Class, any students
who've taken our classes, should have a firm grasp on everything on those checklists. In the
intermediate class, it's time to delve into more intracacy. Students are taught more advanced
techniques and maneuvers, learning how to rapidly stop their dinghies by standing up and
backwinding the main. Students are challenged to learn how to sail backward - a favorite skill, as it
rapidly increases a sailor's control over the boat and builds tremendous confidence.
Instructors cover right of way rules in much more depth, particularly for sailors. By now, students are
familiar with port and starboard, but they build upon that by learning that the leeward boat has right
of way over the windward boat, and that overtaking yacht must stay clear. Capsizing becomes more
fun when you're a more confident sailor, and instructors teach students how to do a "dry flip"
escaping getting wet. By now, though, our intermediate sailors have beent taught so well that there
is little chance of an accidental flip. Instructors build upon the student's knowledge of the buoys in
the bay and what purpose they all serve. They look more closely at current within the bay, how to

spot current lines, where it runs stronger and why.
Sailors at this level begin to realize how "STEM" -oriented sailing and boating are. They begin to
understand the math components of sailing, with geometric angles, and the science of wind,
apparent wind and forecasts.

minimum criteria of the Gass curriculum. In the event that a
student is only meeting the minimum criteria, instructors will
suggest to sailors that they repeat the Introductory Class.
Students in a class all learn at different paces, so the instructor will
work with students individually, based upon their unique level of
learning, but will not advance them to Beginner Sailing, sailing
without a coach in the boat, until they demonstrate skills
confidently.
Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course
objectives, examples of how the items checked in 9 A -C are integrated into the course, and the best takeaways
for students that support improvements to boating safety.

If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced

Description: A 1 -day class for the novice sailor to experience the joy of sailing on beautiful Newport
Harbor. Have you been wondering if sailing is for you? Then this class is a great place to experience
your First Sail. You and up to two other students will join our instructor on board an RS
Venture keelboat, and work together to rig and sail the boat learning basic sailing skills including
steering, sail trim and rules of the road.
This class is perfectly suited for the timid, but curious student - the person who'd like to get on the
water to see what sailing is all about, but they're not about to climb in a boat alone. The RS
Venture's open seating configuration allows for instructors to join their students in the boat, rather
than teaching from a coach boat. Just having an instructor onboard relieves any stress the student
might be feeling. Knowing that they have an instructor with them gives a student the comfort to
learn more easily and quickly. Most beginner sailors are terrified of heeling at first. They don't
understand that this is a natural part of sailing and can be absolutely controlled. Once an instructor
hands over the mainsheet and lets the student experiment with catching the wind and then easing
the sails to release the wind, the confidence builds. Understanding this basic concept and that the
mainsheet is the "gas pedal" is a huge safety step. Instructors combine that knowledge with steering
basics; students begin to understand the steering is counter -intuitive. They learn how to control the
boat through steering and slowing by putting the bow into the safety position. Knowing the safety
position, with the bow slightly off the wind and sails luffing, is a critical form of control that allows a
sailor to avoid any collisions.
The end goal of this class is that we've reached the entry level demographic with three hours of
boating safety information, that the student leaves as a much more educated boater and that they
leave class wanting to learn more.

taken at least a couple of times and, in fact, instructors often
recommend that students re -take this class before they move
along to Keelboat 1. Students move at different paces learning
how to sail and some don't catch on as quickly as others.
Instructors will determine on the water if students have mastered
all the basics of sailing, watching as students sail on all points of
sail, looking for demonstration of critical knowledge, like wind
direction, docking, rigging, rules of the road, control of the boat and
steering. If a student does not have the basics down, the instructor
will definitely recommend that they repeat this class.

to learn how to sail on beautiful Newport Harbor. You will learn the fundamentals of how to rig and
de -rig the boat, points of sail, how to tack and jibe, and basic rules of the road. You will be sailing in
our beautiful J/22s.
While Introduction to Sailing - Keelboat is just a one -day introductory sailing class, Beginner Sailing
- Keelboat is a four -session, 12 -hour beginning sailing class. Instead of learning to sail in a dinghy,
these beginner sailors are learning to sail in the J22. Because these keelboats are bigger than the
dinghies, more students can be placed onboard at a time, so a beginning student doesn't have to
manage everything onboard at once. Students split duties learning to trim the main separately from
steering, and eventually learning to trim the jib. Coaches provide in-depth chalk talks on dock -side
instruction long before students venture onto the water. Sailors learn all the parts of the boat and
sails, as well as how to rig and de -rig properly. Rules of the road as well as all the safety topics in A-
C are covered repeatedly.
The goal of this course is to create new, properly educated entry-level sailors, who are provided a
sound base of boater safety information. The hope is that these sailors will return to further their
education and build upon skills.

C. If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test With Keelboat 1, instructors are certain to qualify a sailor before
or skills evaluation they move on to Keelboat 2. There are a number of reasons for
this, including the fact that the keelboat is bigger, less
maneuverable than a dinghy and once it's moving carries a lot of
momentum. Bigger mistakes can typically be made on a keelboat.
So the instructor will ascertain if a student is comfortable with
rigging, familiar with all the lines aboard, absolutely can
demonstrate control in the boat, from slowing and stopping to
docking without coming in with heat. Students must demonstrate
man overboard drills, proper sailing technique on all points of sail,
as well as show they have a basic understanding of the rules of
the waterway. Keelboat 2 is a big jump, so instructors will not
recommend a student for that class unless they've demonstrated
that they are a well-rounded, confident sailor.
12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course
objectives, examples of how the items checked in 9 A -C are integrated into the course, and the best takeaways

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
This class has been classified as a beginner class in the past, but during this particular year, it was
labeled as a class that needed the Beginner Sailing - Keelboat class as a pre -requisite. The City has
assessed the need and demand for the currently existing schedule of Intro to Sailing - Keelboat,
Beginner Sailing - Keelboat and Keelboat 1 class and, as as result, has revamped the keelboat
offerings, now that OCC is on board.
The introductory keelboat classes are taught in the City's RS Ventures. These boats have a lower
profile, and an instructor, if needed, can be in the boat with the student, reducing anxiety and adding
to overall control of the boat. However, typically in the Keelboat I class, the instructor coaches from
a coach boat. Thus, in order to sail the J22s, the student must already possess an overall
knowledge of how to sail safely.
The target audience for this class is the person who wants to sail independently around the bay.
This person has already taken some sailing classes so understands sailing fundamentals, but is
ready to build upon their base knowledge. These are the students who have enough confidence to
do this, but definitely need more time in a boat to fully understand the complexities of navigating a
harbor in a heavy boat. And the J22 is a heavy boat. It takes time to gain headway and steerage
and it take time to slow momentum. Students in this class learn how to have control over a heavy
keelboat, learning about the sails and how the jib and mainsail effect steerage. They learn how the
boat is most effectively sailed with appropriate balance of sail pressure and heel, going upwind as
well as downwind. The concept of weather helm is discussed, along with feathering and main
control. Instructors teach about the functions of different parts on the boat like jib leads, telltales,
Contract # C8966332. City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22, Date 02/04/2022 Page: 52 of 87
3-58
Exhibit A
Cunningham, outhaul, boomvang - and overall sail shape. They teach the rules of the road and how
best to approach other traffic on the bay. Departing from the dock and into traffic and returning
safely to the dock - in a heavy boat that can't simply be back -winded - are also critical components
to the curriculum. Also, the spinnaker is introduced, teaching students how to manage a third sail
safely.
Typically, on any body of water, you can rely upon the sailors to be the safest demographic of
boater. Why is that? Sailing is a cerebral sport. You can't just move a throttle to make the boat
speed, but you must have actual knowledge of scientific and mathematical facts to have a
successful sail. Thus, by producing educated and competent sailors, the City is producing more
boaters who will be responsible on the water.

the on -water skill evaluation and written test. So instructors, again,
are asking themselves, "Would I lel this student use my personal
boat to go sailing alone?" Instructors will be looking for the
following skills on the water: rigging and de -rigging excellence,
complete understanding of each piece of equipment on the boat
and its purpose, knowledge of all the lines on the boat, proper sail
trim, ability to sail in breeze by feathering and appropriate sail trim
to heeling angle, thorough understanding of rules of the road,
ability to perform rescue within three boat lengths and 30 seconds,
safe approach to leaving and returning to the dock, all boating
safety material covered in the class and overall sense of
competence and confidence on the water.

Description: This 4 -session advanced class is ideal for competent keelboat sailors interested in
learning advanced boat handling, crew work, spinnaker use, sail trim and shape, taking and gybing
on our J/22 keelboats.
The Keelboat 2 class is the most advanced class that the City offers. Students either come to this
class as experienced sailors or they work their way through the City sailing classes to achieve their
goal. This class builds upon all the skills and knowledge students have learned previously, really
honing much more qualified boaters. Instructors delve much more deeply into specific techniques
and philosophies, teaching more advanced concepts of reading the wind, speed and control of the
boat, and overall safe boat handling. Weather permitting, these students venture into the ocean for
lessons on outside conditions, how to sail in waves, emergency options, communication and safety
offshore. Spinnaker use is focused upon, building upon experience flying the chute and foredeck
work. Students are taught how to safely and courteously navigate a bay that might be crowded,
especially when using a spinnaker.
The overall goal of this class is to create independent and safe sailors whom we would trust taking
out our own personal boats.

because it is so much fun.

Description: This 1 -day class is perfect for any adult who wants to explore sailing with their child in a
relaxed and safe environment. Learn the basics of sailing on either a 14' dinghy or 22' keelboat,
accompanied by an instructor who will guide you through safe sailing in Newport Harbor.
Parent & Me is one of the City's most popular sailing classes. Although the students in this class do
not proceed on to another class, it is a great class for conveying boating safety information. It is an
introductory class, and an opportunity for parents to learn to sail with their children or to share their
love of the sport with their kids. Each boat that goes out has an instructor on board, so there is
constant communication about boating safety tips. Instructors allow the students to do the work in
the boat. They are tasked with driving and working the sheets, learning the entire time about

sailing, the bay, our environment, our sea creatures, our birds, right of way, other boats, steering
and understanding the overall dynamics of sailing. And all of the teaching is disguised by the fun of
being on the water! The instructors teach to the level of the children, so that they can understand,
but provide more advanced information to the parents, so that they leave the class having learned a
lot as well.
This class also incorporates paddling, as three hours is a long time for children to concentrate.
Hopping on to paddle equipment is fun and allows a change of pace, while still teaching about
boating safety. Students are given the opportunity to try kayaking and/or Stand Up paddling. They
are given comprehensive information on proper technique and paddle grip, proper stance or
seating, balance, wind and current, as well as boating safety tips.

Exhibit A
If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test Our youth camps are our most popular class, with hundreds of
or skills evaluation children registering during the summer. These camps run five
days a week, and children are taught all the basics of boating
safety. They know that they don't go on the water or even on the
docks without wearing a properly fitted lifejacket. It becomes
second nature, and they leave class knowing that's the way it's
supposed to be for everyone. They become good influencers for
adults.
While there has been no official evaluation in this class, the
campers do get a certificate of completion at the end of camp,
signed by the instructors. Moving forward, as with all our other
classes, we expect to start an official testing system. Clearly the
instructors are constantly assessing their campers' ability in order
to best group them in the types of activities, based on their ability.
Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Description: This week-long summer camp is the perfect introduction for any children looking to
learn how to sail in beautiful Newport Harbor. Campers will learn to sail in a variety of different
sailboats, including 8' Sabots, 14' RS Quests, and 22' J22s. Instructors will work with campers to
develop safe sailing skills and confidence, with the ultimate goal to have campers sailing
comfortably on their own. Campers will also explore Newport Harbor in kayaks and stand-up
paddleboards, weather permitting.
These camps are very popular during summer, as well as our after school sailing classes (6-7 week -
sessions, by quarter) throughout the year. The summer camps are week-long camps, morning or
afternoon, with a team of instructors who teach boating safety through fun to 6 -16 -year-olds.
Campers are taught according to their individual level of boating knowledge - from the beginning to
the more advanced, returning camper. Campers learn sailing fundamentals, boating safety and how
to paddleboard and kayak safely. Most importantly, students are taught respect for the water and
other boaters, the basics of boating safety, how to navigate Newport Harbor, wind and current
directions, rules of the road, and the importance of lifejackets. The City has coached students from
all over the world, not just locals, although we have plenty of those. Students come from Saudi
Arabia, China, Spain, France - and many of them return from year to year.
We let our campers come up with their list of rules at the beginning of camp and, invariably, they all
decide upon "safety" as the number one rule, closely followed by "fun." Under safety, the children
come up with wearing lifejackets, listening to instructors, respecting the environment including the
sea creatures, always being aware of surrounding boats, keeping clear of other boats but waving in
a friendly manner, being aware of weather and current conditions, and always wearing proper
sailing gear.
Games are played that teach water and boating safety. Our swim assessment is not called that but,
instead we create a relay race, so that kids on their first day of class aren't terrified of a swim
assessment. Instead, we have a fun swim relay race, in lifejackets of course, out to instructors who
are standing by in kayaks. Because it's a game, the students don't realize they're being assessed

Exhibit A
for their individual water safety, but instructors are watching closely and quickly determine which
students might not be equally as comfortable or capable in the water. We don't push any campers
who are timid, but let them ease into the water at their own speed.
Later in the camp, one of the most popular learning exercises is the flip test. We have a safety boat
standing by, only place a couple of children at a time in a Quest, position the Quest in the lee of a
remote area away from traffic, and slowly the instructor rolls the boat over. Children are seated on
the leeward side and gently "slip" into the water, while the coach climbs over the dry side to the
centerboard and rights the boat. This exercise is the most popular thing by the end of camp, with
children, sometimes the most timid, knowing precisely what to do in the event a sailboat capsizes.
In the first few days of camp, we do not automatically put children in sabots alone without an
instructor. Our philosophy is that it can be overwhelming, even for adults, to learn alone, let alone a
child. We believe that's why so many children wind up leaving sailing - because of frustration and
fear. They're shoved off the dock, alone and without the proper knowledge, get stuck in irons, get hit
in the head with the boom, and then never want to venture out again. So our students learn to sail in
a boat with an instructor. As they become comfortable and qualified, they are rewarded with getting
to sail in a sabot alone - which becomes a huge motivator to learning and is viewed as the
ultimate reward in camp. And by planting that desire in the children to sail indepedently, we have
succeeded in creating sailors who have been trained in all aspects of boating safety and who will
continue their adventure (and positively influence others) on the water.

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Because Marina Park is a public facility and attracts tens of thousands of customers every year,
Sailing and Boating has a phenomenal opportunity to reach "non boaters" with a boating safety
message. Sailing and Boating offers paddle rentals for drop-in customers, no experience
necessary. While some customers plan to come to Marina Park to paddle, for others the decision is
spur of the moment. For many customers, this is their first paddling experience and with no other
boating experience, this introduction is the ideal time for City staff to provide boating safety
information, as well as to plant the seed for a love of future boating.
For every person who rents our single and double kayaks or a stand-up paddleboard, City staff
provides a comprehensive boating safety orientation that starts immediately upon the customer's
arrival, with a quiet assessment of the customer and their abilities. The City requires that each
paddler be at least six years of age and be a competent swimmer. It's surprising that there are
people who do not understand the importance of being able to swim while on the water. Although
California law requires the PFD to be on the equipment (for adults), the City requires every paddler
to wear a PFD.
Our staff selects an appropriate PFD for each customer and supervises each customer as they
secure the PFD to ensure that they are snugly fit. The staff explains to each customer that the
lifejacket needs to fit securely, or it will float over their head if they wind up in the water. We also
explain that, if we should need to pull them from the water, we would grab the shoulder handles and
lift. If the jacket is not snug, we would pull the lifejacket right off them and they would remain in the
water.
The prevailing breeze is a South West at Marina Park. Our bigger breeze is typically a Westerly and
lighter breeze, a Southerly. We teach each paddler how to read the wind and why it's critical to the
safety of their paddling experience. We ask that each paddler paddles upwind first, so they can
determine if they're able to paddle against the wind. We make sure the customer knows that
paddling downwind is a breeze, so to speak. If there is a wind shift or if the wind is forecast to build,
we let the customer know, and we give them tips for staying out of the breeze or modified paddling
techniques, if the wind becomes a factor. We'll also cease paddling if the wind picks up past the
point of a comfortable paddle. Because of these precautions, we always have our paddlers return,
Contract 9 C8966332. City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2021-22. Date 02/04/2022 Page: 63 of 87

Exhibit A
having had an enjoyable experience.
Staff provides paddlers with local knowledge, including traffic patterns, how to stay out of traffic
(collision avoidance), wildlife and beaches to look for, and suggestions for routes to take depending
on the day's weather, wind, tide and traffic conditions. Staff requests a return time from customers,
and we track departure and return times, as well as the party's specific information, as part of the
float plan. We know specifically when a paddler is due back, so we anticipate their arrival.
Once a customer is fitted in a lifejacket, staff will then fit the customer with a paddle. For the SUP
customer, we measure height, comfortable fit, and note that the paddles are carbon fiber, requesting
that they not touch paddles to the cement, nor lay them down to be stepped on.
Staff reviews proper paddling grip and technique, with specific strokes to maneuver. Along with
demonstrating proper stance or positioning on the equipment, staff reviews balance, proper weight
distribution, boarding and disembarking. We review how to reboard, should they fall out of or off the
equipment, as well as what to do if, for some reason, they are unable to reboard. We instruct
paddlers to stay with their equipment, swim it back to the beach or a dock, if they can't reboard. We
suggest waving a paddle to notify another boater in the case they need assistance. All our
lifejackets have whistles attached for an emergency.
With any customers new to paddling, staff will hold on to the equipment while they practice their
strokes. Once a customer has demonstrated proficiency, we'll let go of the piece of equipment and
allow them to paddle within the swim line, until they show they have mastered directional paddling.
Providing this comprehensive boating safety information is a critical operational procedure for any
paddling customer. It allows the City to reach a broad audience of new boaters with a boating safety
message.

Bid/Proposal Attachment regarding the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008
Effective January 1, 2009, all Invitations for Bids (IFB) or Requests for Proposals (RFP) for goods or
services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 (Act). (Public Contract
Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by the California
Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies generally from contracting
with "scrutinized" companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur
region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code section 10475.
A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract Code
section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a
contract with a State agency for goods or services. (Public Contract Code section 10477(a)).
Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently has (or within
the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations outside of the United States
to certify that it is not a "scrutinized" company when it submits a bid or proposal to a State agency.
(See # 1 on the sample Attachment).
A scrutinized company may still, however, submit a bid or proposal for a contract with a State agency
for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the Department of General Services
(DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public Contract Code section 10477(b). (See # 2 on the
sample Attachment).
The following sample Attachment may be included in an IFB or RFP to satisfy the Act's certification
requirements of bidders and proposers.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 10478, if a bidder or proposer currently or within the
previous three years has had business activities or other operations outside of the United States, it
must certify that it is not a "scrutinized" company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476.
Therefore, to be eligible to submit a bid or proposal, please complete only one of the following
three paragraphs (via initials for Paragraph # 1 or Paragraph # 2, or via initials and certification
for Paragraph # 3):
We do not currently have, or we have not had within the previous three years, business
activities or other operations outside of the United States.
OR
2. We are a scrutinized company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476, but we
have received written permission from the Department of General Services (DGS) to submit
a bid or proposal pursuant to Public Contract Code section 10477(b). A copy of the written
permission from DGS is included with our bid or proposal.
OR
3. We currently have, or we have had within the previous three years, business activities or
other operations outside of the United States, but we certify below that we are not a
scrutinized company as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476.
