public. The State DBW has approved the City of Newport Beach's grant application in the
amount of $46,000, which requires City Council authorization and acceptance of the grant

DISCUSSION:
The City has operated the Marina Park Boating Program since 2015, providing a wide
variety of sailing classes, private lessons, and equipment rentals to the community.
Orange Coast College (OCC), the program's contractor, provides instruction for all City
sailing classes and camps and uses the City's fleet to conduct programs at Marina Park.
This past year, the City and OCC developed an adaptive sailing program to promote
accessibility on the water for individuals with disabilities.
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 sailboat rentals, the City also
offers stand-up paddle board and kayak rentals. The entire Marina Park Boating Program
provides boating safety education to the public and relies on the City's fleet of sailboats
and paddle equipment to operate. Maintenance, improvements and replacement of
equipment is crucial to maximizing the growth and longevity of the program and ensuring
the safety of all participants.
In this year's grant, the California Division of Boating and Waterways approved multiple
replacement, refurbishment and safety items, as well as scholarships to support the City's
adaptive sailing program and ACE After School Sailing. The replacement /refurbishment
items include new "running" and "standing" rigging for the RS Ventures and RS Quests,
new sails for the RS Ventures, as well as new "can docks" to replace some of the modular
docking cubes. The State DBW will also replace the City's stand-up paddles and has
agreed to fund the protective bottom paint for four J22's and two RS Ventures. The safety
items include general lifejackets and specialized adaptive lifejackets, as well as new
"toe rail" which is used on the J22's to prevent sailors from slipping off the boat.
Pending the City Council's approval of the grant, the State is prepared to execute the
agreement so that all sailing equipment and replacement items may be ordered and
purchased. As stated in the grant agreement, the State will reimburse the City $46,000
for the cost of these items once the grant is executed and the items are purchased.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The budget amendment appropriates $46,000 in additional grant reimbursement revenue
from the State DBW and $46,000 in increased expenditure appropriations. The revenue
will be posted to the Marina Park Community Center account in the Recreation and Senior
Services Department, 0107023-561086-G2502, and expenditure appropriations
increased in Marina Park Community Center — Equipment NOC account in the
Recreation and Senior Services Department, 0107023-911024-G2502.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

MISSION STATEMENT
The City of Newport Beach Sailing and Boating program falls under the Recreation and
Senior Services (RSS) Department of the City. The RSS mission statement is "to enhance

MARINA PARK SAILING AND 80ATING — MISSION
The objective of the Marina Park Sailing and Boating Center is to provide boating safety
education to the general public and to provide public access for all people to Newport
Harbor.
The Sailing and Boating mission is to enhance the quality of life of our community and its
visitors by providing safe, cost-effective boating education and public access to boating
adventures - for a day of enjoyment or a lifetime of fun.
OUTREACH
The City had been providing sailing lessons for the public on the beach for decades but the
Marina Park facility allows the City to increase both public access to Newport Harbor and
safe boating educational opportunities.
The City's cost-effective boating classes allow boat owners and people who don't own
boats to learn boating safety, from the ground up. Also, Marina Park's waterfront facility,
with its park, marina, and restaurant, attracts constant foot traffic past the Sailing and
Boating office. Boating staff is speaking daily with passers-by and promoting boating
safety.

SAILING DROP4N CUSTOMERS
The City perceives its "Sail Pass" sailboat rental program as another opportunity to provide
a boating safety message to its customers and their guests.
The City does not allow walk-in sailboat renters, but instead has an internal written and on -
water ratings test system, which is designed to develop the boating safety knowledge of
more experienced sailors. Only upon successfully passing this two-part 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, safely introducing more people to boating.
Staff continues to provide boating safety knowledge to Sail Pass customers upon every

visit.
PADDLING DROP -IN CUSTOMERS
With paddle drop -Ins, rather than provide a renter with a board and paddle and no
education, our experienced and trained City staff take the time to provide a comprehensive
orientation to each customer.
Each drop -in paddle rental customer receives a thorough boating safety orientation with
discussion of:
• Proper fit of Coast Guard -approved lifejacket and explanation of its purpose
• Paddling technique — for full control of the vessel
• Proper stance, hold of paddle
• Wind direction and strength, how to read the wind, and how wind will affect the
paddler
• Current and tides
• Self -rescue and safety tips
• Local waterway rules and boat traffic patterns
Boating rules
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 taw
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. Each paddler
must be able to swim 50 yards, must be at least six years of age, and no one under the
age of 18 is allowed on the water without an adult. Everyone ages six to 12 must have an
adult on the equipment with them.
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 hall other boaters by waving a paddle or using the provided whistle
attached to the lifejacket. 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.
This summer alone. Sailing and Boating staff put at least 2,000 drop -in sailing and paddling
customers of all ages on the water. Each of those customers enjoyed their time on the
water, safely, without incident and no rescues — all had received a comprehensive safe
boating orientation.
Objective 1 -Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 2y
Describe the strengths of your boating safety program that highlight the value you provide to the public. (Why
should someone take a course from your organization rather than from a competitor? What makes your
program stellar?). This Is an opportunity for you to showcase the strengths and boating safety expertise within
your program.
With more than three million residents in Grange 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, there is a

Exhibit A
significant need for boating safety education here in the harbor.
Marina Park Sailing & Boating is unique because:
Aside from the private yacht clubs, Marina Park is one of only four programs in the bay that provide
boating safety curriculum. The community boating center at Marina Park stands out because it's the
only program on the bay that provides all of the following: sailing classes for all ages and experience
levels, an affordable sailboat rental option for experienced sailors who test in, and drop -in paddle
rentals with a comprehensive safety orientation for customers who otherwise would not have access
to the bay or boating safety information.
Also, City staff run Sailing and Boating seven days a week, year-round with three full-time and at
least 13 part-time employees. The facility, equipment and programming is stellar. Another strength
is that the City partners with Orange Coast College School of Sailing and Seamanship as its
contracted sailing vendor. OCC's fleet of boats and course offerings dovetail well with the boating
safety classes the City provides.
Marina Park Strengths:
• The City of Newport Beach has safely provided sailing and boating classes for decades,
• The City has an exceptional safety record; never having a serious incident in any of its
sailing or paddling 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.
• Its public, highly trafficked bayfront location, with park and restaurant, 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. Daily, staff is discussing boating
safety with the steady traffic flow of people using the park.
• Sailing and Boating has a fleet of 43 sailboats dedicated to learning.
• Sailing and Boating provides cost-effective classes and access to the water for anyone over
the age of six who can swim.
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.
• The City has three safety coach boats.
• The City has staffed three full-time and at least 13 part-time on -shore employees, including
trained ocean lifeguards, to run Sailing and Boating seven days a week, year -round -
The instructor to student ratlo is low, with 3-4 beginning students per instructor.
• 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. Those sailors are welcome to bring family and friends - yet another
opportunity to reach additional customers with a boating safety message. Students take a
written test as well as an on -water assessment. All tests are reviewed with the student to
provide additional safety information.
The Argyros Girl Scout Leadership Center is located at Marina Park. The City provides
boating safety information to the troops that visit the Center, has taught hundreds of Girl
Scouts in our paddling program, and offers two weeks of summer sailing programs for the
Girl Scouts.
Sailing and Boating provides Beginning Keelboat lessons to the member veterans of the
nearby American Legion Yacht Club, The Legion looks to the City to train its sailors, so
they can come back to the Legion qualified to rent the American Legion sailboats.
The City has hosted a US Sailing adaptive instructor workshop - the first step in creating a

boating program for people with disabilities.
• The City runs the only two hoists in the bay dedicated to assisting people with disabilities —
one of them is at Marina Park.
Successful History, Safety Track Record, and Lifejackets
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 ail its classes and rentals, with fun closely ranked behind safety.
The City requires that every sailor and every paddler wears a properly -fitted lifejacket while on the
water, so the US Coast Guard PFQ 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 Ft and secure their lifejacket, explaining why a snug fit is mandatary.
The docks at Marina Park all have safety ladders at different locations on the docks, as well as life
rings and throw bags, ready to be tossed to anyone in the water.
Marina Park has always had three safety boats on the docks, prepared with floating towline, small
step ladder, spare lifejackets, as well as a prop guard. The safety boats are 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 staff responded, even before the beach lifeguard,
and pulled struggling swimmers to safety.
The Venue is Unique
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 the Sailing boat bay
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.
InstructorsiStaff
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 and ocean lifeguards, as well as staff who have been involved since the
inception of the Marina Park program.
All the instructors and staff 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 at least a US Sailing Small Boat Level 1 certification, if not a Basic Keelboat Instructor
Certification as well.
saii6nat Fla_Pt
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. The fleet is the
newest in the bay and purchased specifically because each type of boat is an excellent training
platform.

Exhibit A
Sailing Classes
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 far 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
in one day. Private lessons are also available and are one of the City's most popular options. The
Parent & Me option that allows a child to sail with their parent is always booked, as well as the
variety of camps and classes for youth. All the boating safety classes that the City offers are
different than other classes being offered in the bay — whether it's different curriculum, different
types of boats or different scheduling,
Sail Pass Program
For the demographic that is already interested in boating, Marina Park is an enticing option
because, not only do we provide the classes from beginning through advanced in both dinghies and
keelboats, but the City then has the Sail Pass program, which provides access so a City -educated
sailor may continue their boating safety 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, hour-long, 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, no one under the age of
six.
Work with the Girl Scouts
The Argyros Girl Scout Leadership Center is located within Marina Park and, in Orange County
alone, there are some 40,000 Girls Scouts. Individual troops earn the opportunity to visit the Center,
and we have worked with hundreds of Girl Scouts providing boating safety information when they
come to paddle with us. Sailing and Boating has also developed a boating safety sailing program for
the Girls Scouts.
Adaptive Sailing Program
The City has just hosted a US Sailing adaptive instructor training workshop and is now offering
private sailing lessons for people with disabilities.
Objective 7 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 3)
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
general 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). For each safety problem
identified in 3.a, haw did you determine that the identified problems were significant?
Overcrowding combined with boater inexperience remain the most significant boating
safety problems in Newport Harbor.
Overcrowding
Competing uses of our bay between a variety of different types of boaters is a key concern.
Contract # C8969330, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2024-25, 0ate 7 041=025 page: 14 of 117
6-21
Exhibit A
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. It doesn't take a study,
but merely observation, to know that overcrowding is a problem. Our typically beautiful
Southern California weather draws people to boating activity and, on any given day
throughout the year, a boater will encounter the Balboa car ferry, sailboats, powerboats,
personally -owned Duffy electric boats, rented electric boats, fishing cruise boats, large
charter vessels, rented paddleboards and kayaks, fishermen in floats, gondolas, small
party charter boats (hot tubs, pedaling bars), rowers practicing in skulls, and competitive
sailors training and racing. There are also anchorages and mooring fields throughout the
harbor that reduce operational space.
Inexperience
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 ❑uffy'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.
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, inexperienced boaters have a problem understanding that the enormous charter
boats cruising through federal channels have difficulty maneuvering and can't stop on a
dime, These charter boats are professionally captained and travel at slow speeds, however
they carry lots of momentum. For inexperienced boaters this poses an added danger as
they don't understand that the big boats can't easily avoid obstacles on the water.
Inexperienced boaters cut right in front of the charters, or don't give them a wide enough
berth -
In all, our bay, which draws so many visitors, has a distinct need for the boater safety
education that we provide.

Exhibit A
Most of the overcrowding in the bay is because of powerboats and most of the operator
inexperience in the bay is exhibited by power boat operators.
Sailors are generally much more informed and more capable on the water than
powerboaters, as there are many more complexities in operating a sailboat, which can then
transition into competent powerboat operation.
Despite not teaching powerboat education specifically, the City produces knowledgeable
sailors, who are then fully qualified on pleasure outings with friends and families on
sailboats or powerboats. The City's sailing classes teach Rules of the Road, absolute
control of the sailboat, boat maneuvering, how to avoid congested areas, and how to
recognize inexperience in other boaters.
All the City of Newport Beach classes are designed to give sailors the tools to recognize
and avoid critical missteps. Our instructors are US Sailing Small Boat Level 1 and Basic
Keelboat Instructor Certified, and our curriculum follows US Sailing's suggested teachings,
providing extensive information to our students on, but not limited to, the fallowing topics
that help our sailors navigate safely in any overcrowded harbor With inexperienced boaters:
Wind direction - the key concept in sailing: Knowing how to read the wind is the first
critical step in keeping a boater safe and in control. Being in absolute control of a sailboat
at all times, regardless of not having an engine, helps prevent accidents. Knowing
precisely how a sailboat or powerboat will react due to wind conditions is an important tool
in overcrowded situations. Students learn how to control the wind and thus their boat. They
will also begin to understand concepts like "windage" in powerboats and how the wind
affects a boater who is docking. Our sailors are taught about how different types of boats
maneuver on the water. For example, there are a few large charter boats in our harbor, so
students are taught to give wide berth, knowing that these large vessels cannot maneuver
easily nor stop quickly.
Returning to and Leaving the Dock - both critical concepts to master in an overcrowded
bay of inexperienced boaters. 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 the main and big tiller movements can also slow a boat.
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. Students are also taught how to bring a MOB
back on board safely and properly.

6-23
Exhibit A
Safety Position - how to slow your shoat 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
always has absolute control, this significantly reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.
Our students are taught to "stand by" if they are negotiating a crowded situation, rather
than accelerating dangerously through tight quarters, as we see many powerboaters do.
"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.
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.) Most of all, we
teach our students to never fully trust any other boat operator in our bay. Because we have
so many rentals in this bay, we teach students how to identify risky drivers and how best to
avoid them.
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 commercial 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.

Orange Coast College Sailing and Seamanship
Bay 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 Glasses, 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. Both OCC and the City have found great synergy, meshing their programs so that the
student has the best of all opportunities.

11. Conducting Evaluation & Implementing Improvements
t 1.a Identify a program improvement that was implemented in the last calendar year:
Note; improvements can be either boating safety or administrative in nature but should have made your
organization safer or more efficient in a measurable way. Do not repeat answers from previous applications
unless you have further refined a process mentioned previously.
Last year's ❑BW Workshop identified a problem that many of the boating centers were
experiencing, including Marina Park: The Mission Bay Aquatic Center presented on "attracting and
retaining competent staff."
The City had been experiencing attraction and retention issues with its part-time staff. All the people
who work at Marina Park Sailing and Boating are part-time. While we've had the benefit of a boating
coordinator and facility maintenance leader who've stayed for years and three other staffers who
remained for at least a year, the nature of this entry-level position is that the City promotes good
staffers from within, or they leave to attend a four-year college or to take their dream job.
Thus, there's a constant flux of staff, which makes thorough training and retention of institutional
knowledge difficult. Running a sailing center is complex with many moving parts and, when the
overall focus is to teach safe boating, staff must be well trained and have the benefit of continuity.
We needed more staff for several reasons:
• To adequately provide comprehensive boating safety orientations
• To assist with sailing customers down on the docks
• To speak with the constant stream of Marina Park visitors, providing boating safety
information and answers to programming questions
• To work on the equipment, which is a full-time job keeping it safe and in working order

Exhiu t A
The City of Newport Beach was experiencing the attraction and retention problem throughout the
entire Recreation and Senior Services department (RSS), under which the Sailing Center operates..
Rather than go to City Council to get a wage increase or additional positions created (which could
have taken years), RSS brought back an old position (Assistant Recreation Coordinator), with a
higher wage, which instantly attracted qualified candidates. RSS also eliminated the entry-level
position, Recreation Leader, and instead posted the next level Senior Recreation Leader, which also
attracted candidates due to the higher pay level.
Both of these listings immediately attracted qualified candidates, many of whom were hired. Sailing
and Boating had plenty of well -trained staff this summer, hiring on seven additional staffers. This
made scheduling much easier and allowed for staff to assist in all areas of our programming, with
drop -in customers, sailing classes, sailing renters, youth camps, as well as helping customers on
the beach and docks and assisting with maintenance on the equipment.

Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4.2)
11 C. What did the assessment identified in 14.b reveal that prompted you to make an
improvement?
What were the measurable benefits since implementation?
The assessment revealed that Sailing and Boating could serve customers more thoroughly
with more staff members. Sailing & Boating has so many moving parts to its operation, and
maintaining a fleet of this size also requires relentless effort.
The most measurable benefit of changing the hiring structure was the 100 percent increase
in qualified candidates applying for the job. We were able to bring aboard seven new
staffers, strictly assigned to Sailing and Boating.
Not being comfortably staffed created many areas for improvement — all of them directly
related to adequately providing the best boating safety program. I mentioned in the
previous answer the areas for improvement that additional staffing could remedy. 111
elaborate (not repeatf) upon each area, as well as provide the measurable benefit for each.
1. To adequately provide comprehensive boating safety orientations
This past summer, we put more than 1,300 paddling customers on the water, outside of our
sailing classes and camps. Each of these people received a comprehensive boating safety
orientation, covering everything like lifejacket fit, paddling techniques, self -rescue, wind
direction and boating rules of the road. Staff is trained to take their time with everyone,
hand holding each customer until they demonstrate competency, whether it's kayaking or
stand-up paddling. This busy summer, with the additional staff, customers experienced the
red -carpet treatment. No staff was hurried trying to fit lifeiackets, carry, set up or clean
equipment. There was ample staff to assign a team to work with the steady flow of
customers. We maintained our safety record of no incidents and no rescues with paddle
outings,

Exhibit A
To assist with sailing customers down on the docks
This summer we also put hundreds of campers and adults on the water in sailing lessons,
as well as our Sail Pass customers. In summer 2023 we had 258 adult sailing class
students and youth campers compared with 353 in summer 2024. Also, we were able to
safely put more Sail pass customers on the water, 217 in summer 2023 and 244 in summer
2024, With each of these flutings, staff can continue providing boating safety information to
these customers who are renting.
1. To speak with the constant stream of Marina Park visitors, providing boating safety
information and answers to programming questions
While we don't track the number of people walking by Marina Park, having additional staff
allows us to take the time answering the multitude of questions we get on a day-to-day
basis. It gives staff the time to delve into specifics about sailing classes and our program.
hopefully enticing people to take a boating safety class. We have an RS Quest on a dolly
right outside our boat bay and office. The boat attracts people walking by and, with
additional staff, mini boating safety lessons can be provided while looking at the Quest and
reviewing sailing in general.
1. To work on the equipment, which is a full-time job keeping it safe and In working
order
Having additional staff allowed us to schedule people specifically to assist with the
maintenance and upkeep of our sailing and paddling equipment. Some of the tasks that
had been sidelined were accomplished with extra staff:
• Replaced all the running rigging on the J22's
Fixed coach boats on two occasions during the weekend classes
• Retrieved a skied halyard a handful of times
• Repaired a sabot
• Replaced a dozen J22 tie down lines
• Helped repair a dock light bollard
• Helped keep the coach boats topped up with gas multiple times a week
Made permanent spring line system for C6 #3
• Designed, ordered, and placed small stickers on all SUP and kayak paddles
• Replaced bungee on most of the kayaks
• Helped move the gangway
• Tried fixing VHF radios
• Replaced J22 #6 part side winch
Kept the boats clean every day
1. Assist with the myriad administrative tasks
The front desk is a busy place, with phone calls and walk-ins. The coordinator always
needs assistance keeping all the moving parts of the program in order. Unfortunately,
without dedicated long-term staff, the institutional knowledge isn't there and, thus, they
aren't able to help with the administrative projects. This summer, we were able to hire four
additional staffers who had previous boating and sailing knowledge which helped
immeasurably. Rather than train from scratch teaching staff members the very basics of
boating, these new staffers were able to hit the ground running, communicating
knowledgeably with customers regarding their sailing inquiries and picking up tasks that
require knowledge of a boating program. All four will return to the program next year -

Instructions for Creating Equipment Worksheets
Each of the following items must be entered in separate worksheets. They should not be listed in a combined
category such as one of the Supplies categories. Any boats, trailers, engines, modular docking, or storage
sheds listed in a combined Supplies category will be disqualified. Additionally, do not create a category called
Paddling Equipment and then list SUPs, Kayaks, etc. on a single worksheet. These requests will be
disqualified.
Requests Requiring a Separate worksheet
• Boats
All requests for boats must each have a separate worksheet. All boats are subject to this rule including
motorized boats, sailboats, and any type of paddle craft.
Engines
Trailers
If, for example, you are requesting 8 sailboats, you will list them together on a single worksheet.
If additionally, you are also requesting 10 kayaks, the kayaks must have their own worksheet.
Combining the two requests on a single worksheet will result in a disqualification of both
requests.
II you are requesting a kayak that includes seat backs and paddles as a set, those items can be
combined with the kayak in the same line item. However, if you are just requesting several seat
backs or paddles to replace worn ones already in your inventory, list those requests in the
Supplies-Replacement/Refurbishment Items category.
You may combine an engine with boat in a single worksheet If they will be used together as a set.
Otherwise, list all engine purchases on a separate worksheet.
If you are requesting multiple engines of the same type for a similar use, you may combine them
into a single worksheet.
You may combine a trailer with a boat if they will be used together as a set. Otherwise, trailers
belong on a separate worksheet. Note: Trailer does not mean a doily.
• Modular Docking
Non -permanent modular docking is allowable in this grant. Requests for docking must be on a
separate worksheet. Do not combine them in a general request for supplies -
Storage Sheds
Non -permanent storage sheds are allowed in this grant. Requests for storage sheds must be on
a separate worksheet. Do not combine them in a general request for supplies.

Combined Supply Categories
You may combine smaller requests for supplies into a single worksheet if the justification and general use are
similar. The following combined supply categories are available to use.
On the cost estimate worksheet, keep the combined items together as a single (e.g.: Supplies -Safety Items)
Then, in the notes section, list each individual item and approximate amount and cast per type of item.
Supplies-Replacement/Refurbishment Items.
This category can contain supplies -replacement sails, rudders, masts, paddles, etc. that are being requested to
replace worn out items. It should not include an entire boat, or requests to outfit anew boat. If, for example, you
are requesting new sailboats and as part of that request, you would be purchasing items such as masts, rudder,
sails, that go specifically with that boat or boat fleet purchase, you may combine them in the moat worksheet, as
they will have similar use and justification.
Supplies -Safety Items.
This category is For items such as life jackets, flares, radios, first aid items, etc. This category is NOT far listing
things like a Safety boat. That item belongs in its own category with its awn justification.
Supplies -Miscellaneous Items -
These are supplies that do not fit into the other supply categories. The grouped items should have a similar
justification.
If you are unsure whether to separate or group items, contact RBW staff to get clarity and avoid
possible disqualification.

(` Protection (Extends life of equipment)
2 b. Provide a clear justification that explains the above designation and how this request will improve
your ability to educate boaters. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
The City relies upon its lifejackets for every aspect of its Sailing and Boating program. Although each
PFD is rinsed thoroughly after each use, hung up neatly and cleaned regularly, the sun and salt
water combined with repetitive use by thousands of boating students each year, slowly start to
degrade the efficacy of the PFDs. Our boating program would cease to exist without lifejackets, as
they are the number one safety item we rely upon to keep our customers safe. Although the law
doesn't state that all boaters must wear one, we require every customer to wear a properly fitted
lifejacket. Our staff informs them that a lifejacket does no good if you're unable to put it on in an
emergency.
2 C. Discuss why this particular type or model works Best for your program.
Adult and Youth Lifejackets
The City currently has the Old Town Universal Outfitter for all its adult and youth customers. We rind
this jacket fits the best and is durable. They outlasted the West Marine PFDs, which we had
purchased previously. Our current adult and youth lifejackets were purchased in 2023 and, by the
time this grant is approved, and we take new delivery of lifejackets, it will most likely be 202& So
these PFDs will have seen at least three years of thousands of customers each year_
Child Lifejackets
Unfortunately, the Old Town brand does not carry the child lifejackets for our smallest customers.
Thus, we've found the West Marine brand to outfit out smallest boaters. We've used these lifejackets
in the past and they've held up and are the most cost effective.
Adaptive Lifejackets
We've been working with US Sailing, after the adaptive instructor workshop to determine which brand
and type of lifejacket will work best for our customers with disabilities. We've narrowed it down to a
few brands and will purchase the one that provides head support for a person with a higher disability,
as well as a leg strap, so the jacket can't come off.
2 d. How long do you expect to use this
equipment?
2 e, If this request is for a replacement item,
how old is the equipment you want to

1 Course Titles Using this Equipment
As I mentioned above, these lifejackets are well taken
care of, but typically we're on a three year cycle due to
the sheer number of people who are using the
lifejackets each year.
Our current lifejackets will be 3-4 years old when they
are replaced.
In a year's time, Marina Park sees roughly 4418
customers who will use these lifejackets. in four years
of use, that's 17,672 customers and in three years of
use, that's 13,254 customers_

Protection (Extends life of equipment)
2 b. Provide a clear justification that explains the above designation and how this request will improve
your ability to educate boaters. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
The city purchased 12 RS Quests in 2015 when Marina Park was built. Since then, the RS Quests
have been a mainstay of our safe Boating education program. The RS Quests provide an excellent
learning platform for beginning sailors. They're rmomolded, like kayak material, so they're stronger
than Fiberglass and less easy to damage. We plan to have these boats in service for the duration of
this program. They're already 10 years old and have taught approximately 7,000 people the basics of
sailing. They are also used for students to practice flipping a dinghy and re -righting it - self -rescue -
With hundreds of campers and adults using these boats for safety classes, the Quests have
experienced some normal wear and tear, although [hey are in good condition. For safety reasons,
it's time to replace the standing rigging. These are ail the wires that keep the mast standing up. With
age, those wire "stays" can start to unwind, leaving wires sticking out, which we don't want. Although
we release the forestay tensioning after every use, the wire stays do begin to stretch out as well,
through the years. So, it's time to lower the rigs and replace all the wiring that allows the masts to
function safely and properly.
Also, the running rigging or the lines in the boat need replacement. After 10 years of salt water, sun
and repetitive use, the lines shrink and become stiff, not running through the blocks as they should.
We do thoroughly rinse the boats, rigging and lines after every use, and remove the lines to more
thoroughly deep soak them, however after 10 years, it's time to replace the lines. Replacement lines
are needed because they glide easily through the cleats and blocks, keeping sailors safe and able to
control the sails properly. We don't want lines getting stuck.
2 c. Discuss why this particular type or model works best for your program,
RS Boats, the manufacturer, provides all the lines and rigging for its RS Quests.

2 b. Provide a clearjustifica4on that explains the above designation and how this request will improve
your ability to educate boaters. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
The RS Ventures play a critical role, especially with our beginning students. We use them for our
very youngest campers, age 6 - 8, because we can put several students in the boat, accompanied by
an instructor. This way students aren't in boats alone, feeling frightened and out of control. We also
teach private lessons and adult learn to sail classes in the Venture, for the same reason. When a
class has students in a boat alone and the instructor is following in a coach boat, the instructor must
shout at students, and this can heighten students' anxiety. Not to mention that being put in a boat
alone when you're learning can create lots of anxiety for a student.

Exhibit A
The Venture is the perfect boat for multiple students to learn in a relaxed environment with an
instructor right there answering questions. For this reason, it is the boat we've chosen to teach our
adaptive sailing lessons. Not only can the boat be modified with adaptive equipment, but an
instructor can ride along as well as family members. This makes it a fun experience for everyone.
The Venture is a keel boat so it's a stable platform for beginning teaching.
Without the Ventures, we'd lose a key component to our beginning boating safety instruction. We'd
have to eliminate the camps for the 6-8-year-olds because our other boats don't suit this age group.
We've had these city -owned RS Ventures for 14 years, and they've provided hundreds of hours of
boating safety lessons. it's time for an overhaul and refurbish of these boats for safety reasons and
to prolong longevity, The lines need to be replaced so they run smoothly, and the standing rigging
that keeps the mast upright needs to be replaced, As a boat ages, the stays {standing rigging/wires)
that keep the mast upright start to stretch and fray. Not replacing the rigging could cause the mast to
come down accidentally.
Finally, the Ventures need bottom paint. Any boat that lives In salt water must have this protective
bottom paint to prevent growth - at feast every three years at longest.
2 c. Discuss why this particular type or model works best for your program.
The running and standing rigging, as well as the sails are all made by the RS manufacturer,
specifically for the R5 Venture. For the bottom paint, we've acquired the most cost effective quote
from a local shipyard.
I ran out of roam in the justification above, so I'm finishing the bottom paint justification in this section.
Any boat that lives in salt water must have this protective bottom paint to prevent growth - at least
every three years at longest. Without the bottom paint, barnacles and mussels drill holes into the hull
and attach themselves, which makes the boat impossible to sail. The hull starts taking on water and
turns to soft mush.
If you left the boat in the water for five years with no new bottom paint, the boat would no longer be
usable and would have to be junked. However, with the appropriate care of our Ventures, these
boats should last well into another 10 years of our program. There will be no need to purchase other
boats. The current price of an RS Venture is between $24,000 and $26,000. To replace two boats,
that's a minimum of $48,000. The cost of the bottom paint, $30a4, Is relatively inexpensive insurance
to prolong the longevity of these boats.

3. Course Titles Using this Equipment
We'll use this equipment for the next 11 years of the

We plan to use the Ventures more and more for our
programming, especially with the start of our adaptive
sailing. At the current rate of students, some 2,068
students will benefit from learning in the Ventures.

Safety (equipment provides safety enhancement)
Increased Efficiency/Program Expansion (would serve more people or save staff time, etc.)
Protection (Extends life of equipment)
2 b, Provide a clea r ju stifica tion that explains the above designation and how this request will improve
your ability to educate boaters. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
Our J22's are a critical component of our boating safety program and without an overhaul of the J22
fleet we would lose ono of our main, most highly utilized platforms for educating boaters. We've
scheduled a three-year overhaul of these boats, which included mainsails and jibs, standing rigging
and running rigging in the last two year's grants. This year we're focused on finalizing the overhaul by
replacing the safety toe rail and hauling the J22s for a bottom paint, which I'll address in a separate
worksheet.
This safety toe rail made from a durable plastic material Is placed around the bow top deck. Its intent
is to prevent anyone working on the bow from slipping overboard. Students work on the bow when
rigging or derigging the boat or during sailing for multiple purposes whether it's flying a sail, working
the whisker pole or bringing down a jib. The front deck is always slippery especially when it gets wet,
which is most of the time. If someone slips this toe rail catches them from going overboard, so it's a
critical piece of safety equipment on the J22.
2 c. Discuss why this particular type or model works best for your program.
We searched for a year to find this product as the original manufacturer had stopped producing it.
We checked with every known J22 Fleet, and no one had any idea where to purchase this toe rail.
Finally, we found it at Vela and are purchasing a portion in order to fix damage that our boats
sustained.
2 d. How long do you expect to use this
equipment?
2 e, If this request is for a replacement item,
how old is the equipment you want to
The J22's are 15 years old, and this is the first time that
we've replaced the toe rail. It's tough material but it's
beginning to separate in certain spots from the deck, so
we'll remove those sections that have been damaged or
compromised and replace it with solid toe rail to prevent
accidental man overboards. It's expected that this
replaced toe rail will last another 15 years, short of any
unexpected damage.
The toe rail is 15 years old as it came with the original
purchase of the J22s.

2 f. Provide the estimated number of people As I mentioned the J22s are a key instruction platform
who will use the equipment during its For our boating safety program. Approximately 1094

15 years, that's about 16, 410 people who will learn
boating safety on the J22s.

2 b. Provide a clear justification that explains the above designation and how this request will improve
your ability to educate boaters. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
We're on the third year of a three-year overhaul of the city -owned J22s, which provide a safe boating
platform far more than 1000 people every year. So far, thanks to the grant Funding, we've purchased
new sails, redone all the lines and halyards and are in the process of lowering masts to put in new
standing rigging.
The final component of this overhaul is to get the boats bottom painted, which is critical to the
longevity of these boats. We are requesting funding For only four of the six boats, as there was some
uncertainty within bBW as to whether this would be supported. Bottom paint is a critical item for our
program, which supports 11 boats that need bottom paint. We're requesting that ❑BW split costs on
bottom paint for the J22s.
Bottom paint manufacturers say that the paint lasts for one year, but our shipyard Balboa Boat Yard
rolls the paint onto the boats, which doubles the film that the manufacturer suggests. Balboa Boat
Yard recommends bottom paint every I.5-2 years. Our J22s were last bottom painted three years
ago.
If a boat doesn't get bottom paint, at about three years, more than soft algae, for which we clean
every month, starts attaching to the hull of the boat. The bottom paint disappears and hard items like
barnacles, mussels and critters attach themselves to the bottom of the boat, drilling little holes into
the boat. These roots and holes in the boat create water leaks and make the hull of the boat turn soft,
like a pillow. After about five years, we'll have to junk the boats, and we'll be requesting a new fleet
of J22s. A new J22 can cost about $19,000; six new boats will be $114,000 which is cost prohibitive.

2 c. Discuss why this particular type or model works best for your program.
Balboa Boat Yard is our local shipyard and provides the most cost-effective pricing for haul out and
bottom paint,
We'd like to keep using this fleet of J22s for at least another 15 years, and bottom paint is relatively
cheap insurance. It's critical to prolonging the fife of this fleet upon which our program relies. Quite
frankly, without being able to offer beginning sailing lessons aboard the J22, there's a good chance
our boating safety program would grind to a halt.

We've put on the water paddling safely. Because we're a saltwater and sand environment, we take
precautions in rinsing paddles immediately and storing them neatly out of the sun. We also
periodically separate, flush and wax the paddies so there's no residual salt or sand inside the paddle.
However, with normal wear and tear, some of the paddies are beginning to show signs of corrosion
and weakness. It's time to begin trading out the heavily used paddles, so they don't break during an

Exhibit A
Marina Park and its docks were built In 2015. Since then, we've served thousands of people learning
about boating safety. We use the docks for the sailing instruction in all our classes, with practicals
and demonstrations. Students practice rigging and derigging, steering, and they roll and fold sails -
all on our docks. We also keep all our dinghies hauled on to the Candock and, through the course of
the years, there's been normal wear and tear destroying a handful of these modular docking cubes.
Some have slices in them, others are growing weak, so for safety purposes, we'd like to trade out 40
of these cubes. This will preserve the dock and prevent customers From stepping through holes,
injuring themselves.

people with disabilities, we will provide two instructors. That
increases the cost of the class for a demographic that is
sometimes already financially challenged, For those students
who are able to pay a portion of a $450 class, we'll award a

need
1 What methods do you use to establish either the financial or safety need for scholarship requests?
Financial: List the methods that you use to determine needs for awarding scholarships. Financial examples
might include using the free lunch program, Title One schools, income tax verification, etc.
Safety Need: If you are awarding scholarships based on safety, explain why lowering the cost of a particular
course or courses at your center benefits boating safety education. Is a particular type of boating causing
accidents, etc. Use supporting documentation, such as accident statistics or other safety information to further
establish need.
The City of Newport Beach is intent upon providing boating safety education for the public in an
inclusive manner. To date, we've had a handful of students with disabilities in our able-bodied
sailing classes. But these classes aren't equipped specifically for people with disabilities, nor are the
classes staffed with instructors who have specific adaptive training. This year, thanks to grant
funding, the City hosted a US Sailing Adaptive Instructor Workshop here at Marina Park. Five of our
Instructors participated in the comprehensive three-day training.
The take -away from this training is that we want to start slowly with the adaptive classes we offer,
There are many complexities teaching people with disabilities how to sail, so we've decided to start
with offering private lessons for people with any kind of disability, cognitive or physical. Two
instructors will be needed for each lesson, making the price for a three-hour class about $450.
These lessons will be designed to include families and loved ones, so the person with the disability
doesn't have to participate alone. No one wants to pursue a boating activity alone, as this is an
adventure to be enjoyed with friends.
The City intentionally prices all its boating safety classes so that they're attainable for the general
public, and people aren't priced out, However, for a person with a disability, there are other
mitigating factors which can impede their financial ability to participate. Many people with disabilities
are unable to work so their income is limited. Wheelchairs, prosthetics, medical care, support staff,
transportation complexities all add to the expense of their daily lives. Add to that, the desire to
participate surrounded by family and friends, and that adds an additional cost to exploring a boating
safety educational adventure.
In conversations with groups that have a history of providing adaptive sports, including sailing, the
over-riding message is to be inclusive with programming, making any adaptive boating safety class

Exhibit A
open to anyone — not just the person with a disability. Each organization, in our research, agreed
with the premise that you should charge something for each class to add value, but to not charge
regular pricing, as it would drive participants away. USARC, Achieve Tahoe, and the US Sailing
Center in Long Beach all agreed that the City should charge a nominal fee, but to make access as
simple and cost-effective as possible — which requires a scholarship.
While the City won't check financial records of participants, the fact is that a person with a disability
has many more barriers than an able-bodied person to taking a boating safety class. This doesn't
mean that they won't be boaters, enjoying friends' boats and time on the water. But the City
wants to make it as accessible as possible for someone with financial barriers to take a boating
safety class, preparing them for the day they find themselves on the water. And, every adaptive
organization we spoke with said the person with the disability won't participate alone, but they'll
want their family and Friends participating with them — which adds additional cost that the City wants
to help defray.
It goes without saying that people with disabilities are no different than able-bodied people and want
to enjoy all the same activities. So, they will access the water with friends in boating activities. This
is our opportunity to provide boating safety education — without any financial barriers — so that they
are well prepared for the days that they venture onto the water in their personal boating outings.

The City provides many different "ACE" (After Class Enrichment) classes throughout our Newport -
Mesa School District. We work closely with the local school Newport Elementary, whose students
register for the ACE After School Sailing class at Marina Park. We'll lot the school administrators
know that we have some scholarship funding for those that are in need, and we'll take directive from
the school. They know, through their verification methods, which students could benefit from
financial assistance.
This school is on the beach - actually. It's campus is on the ocean front with a blacktop on top of the
sand. It's safe to say that the majority of these students who attend this school will find themselves
on boats with family and friends. Our after school sailing class is a convenient way For these children
to gain boating safety knowledge for their future outings. We pick up students after school and walk
them two blocks to Marina Park - easy for parents as they don't have to deliver students to Marina
Park. It would be a shame that any student missed out on this boating safety opportunity because
they couldn't afford it. We'd like to mitigate that.

or skills evaluation times and, in fact, instructors often recommend that students
retake this class before they move along to Intermediate Dinghy.
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 basins 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 recommend that they repeat the Beginner class.
12. Describe how this. specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course

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 beating safety?
Beginning Dinghy Sailing is designed for people: with little or no sailing experience. Typically, these
students have never sailed before and might not have any boating experience at all. The class
targets ages 14+, but most of the students are adults. This four -day class takes the absolute
beginner, teaches them all the fundamentals of sailing a small 14' dinghy and, by the end of class,
these students are sailing independently and are able to cruise Newport Harbor safely with minimum
instructor input. This class gives students the foundational knowledge to be an "aware" and safe
boater in any future boating experience they encounter.
There are people who walk by our facility every day, saying they always wanted to try sailing, so we
suggest they start with this course.
The first day of class instructors start with a comprehensive chalk talk, teaching basic parts of the
boat and wind direction concepts. Students sit in the boats on the dock, learning to steer and how to
trim the mainsheet properly. Then they learn to rig the boat and launch, putting down centerboard
and rudder immediately for stability. On the first day students are amazed that they're already sailing
in the Guest with a crew by themselves. Instructors start the on -water portion of class by setting
buoys on a reaching angle, right off the dock - this is the easiest point of sail and allows students to
drive the boats, learning the counter -intuitive steering, going around the buoys in a controlled
setting. 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, which tends to be the easiest point of sail. In the next
few classes, students spend most of their time on the water, with practical application, but
instructors do provide chalk talks and debriefs with every class.
By the last day of class, students are able to rig their boats, launch, and sail on all points of the
wind, cruising the harbor. If the student does not master the basics of sailing and feel confident
about moving onto Intermediate Sailing, instructors recommend taking another beginning level

class, sometimes in a different boat, so that they're continuously broadening their boating safety
knowledge.
Students who go from knowing nothing about boating safety have learned a new sailing language,
know the importance of a properly -fitted lifejacket, and can carry all this introductory safety
information to future boating experiences.
Through classroom instruction and on -the -water practice in the RS Quest instructors teach all items
listed in 9 A-C. The class consists of 25% lecture and 75% on the water practice.
COURSE PREREQUISITE
Swimming ability is required. Life jackets are provided and are worn at ail times on the docks and on
the water.
COURSE OBJECTIVE

or skills evaluation but typically upon successful completion of this class, the sailor will
take our on -water ski11 avaIuaticn 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 sall?" 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 slaw 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.
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
for students that support improvements to boating safety,
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 is the next step for students who've successfully completed Beginning Dinghy Sailing.
They take their skills to the next level, building on basic sailing skills and working to improve boat
handling, refining sail trim, skipper and crew teamwork, and problem solving while afloat. Sailing a
14' IRS Guest students practice rigging, docking, sail trim, sail controls, crew wont and
communication, reefing and knots.
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 intricacy. Students are introduced to the jib and
sailing with two sails. 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. After Beginning Dinghy, 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
Contract # C8999330, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2024-25, ❑ale 04/0912026 Page: 56 of 117
Exhibit A
that overtaking yacht must stay clear. Capsizing becomes more fun when you're a more confident
sailor, and instructors teach students haw to do a "dry flip" escaping getting wet. By now, though,
our intermediate sailors have been 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" concepts tie into sailing and
boating. For example, they begin to understand the math components of sailing, with geometric
angles, and the science of wind, with apparent wind and forecasts. They also learn how to read
wind from looking at the ripples on the water,
The Glass consists of 25% lecture and 75% on the water practice.
COURSE PREREQUISITE
Successful completion of Beginning Sailing or equivalent experience. Swimming ability is required.

C, If you selected I t l3, 1-4, describe the test This class was originally designed as a hybrid, for students with
or skills evaluation some sailing experience who were interested in familiarizing
themselves with the J22 as well as serving as a "rating" class for
sailors who were interested in renting the J122 keelboats at Marina
Park, Instructors found it was toe difficult to test same students
while trying to instruct other students, so the ratings test was
broken out into a separate class. The Explore class is now purely
instructional, but also serves as a good one -day trial to see if
sailors are ready to go through the ratings process.

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

The popularity of the J122 really drives this class, often with a waitlist of students. OCC has kept the
class size small to provide almost one-on-one instruction for these students. Students come to class
with some sailing knowledge and specific interest in learning more about the J122. All of the topics in
9 A-C are covered, with the focus on how to operate a J22 keelboat safely. Instructors provide
rigging techniques and an explanation of details that are specific to the JI22, like being aware of the
dangers of sailing by the lee and how to use the backstay for optimal sail trim and ability to depower
the boat in breeze. Students learn that sailing by the lee can be dangerous in a keelboat because it
might cause an accidental jibe. Students are taught to watch the masthead fly as well as the leech
of their mainsail, to prevent an accidental jibe. Sailors also learn about weather helm, and how the
sails really drive the boat, like rounding down in a breeze by solely using the mainsail, rather than
relying upon the tiller. This allows the sailor to always maintain full control of the boat, building upon
basic sailing knowledge. Sailors in this class also learn more about right of way rules and being
aware on the water.
This 3.5-hour class consists of 20% lecture and 80% on the water practice.

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?
Beginning Keelboat Sailing is a four -session, 14-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, under the supervision of an onboard
instructor, split duties learning to trim the main separately from steering, and eventually learning to
trim the jib. Coaches provide in-depth chalk talks and dockside instruction long before students
venture onto the water on that first day. 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. Many beginning students leave this keelboat class prepared for the
intermediate keel class, and the instructors provide input to the students about what classes to take
next.
The class consists of 25% lecture and 75% on the water practice.

Parent & Me continues to be one of the City's most popular sailing classes. it is perfect for any adult
who wants to explore sailing with their child in a relaxed and safe environment. Students team in the
IRS Quest or IRS Venture. This is an introductory class, and a great platform for conveying boating
safety information.
A comprehensive onshore chalk talk and instructional rigging session give students the skills to get
in a dinghy on their own for the first time. Instructors are either on board with students or, most
likely, in coach boats, providing constant communication about boating safety tips. Students do all
the work on their own in the boats. They are tasked with driving and trimming 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 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 leamed a lot as well.

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,

types of activities, based on their ability.
12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course
objectives, examples of how the items checked In B A-C are integrated into the curse, 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 bating safety?
This week-long summer camp, morning or afternoon, teaches children, ages 6 -16, how to sail,
stand up paddle and kayak. Instructors work with campers to build confidence around boats and to
develop safe sailing and paddling skills. One of the ultimate goals is to have campers sailing and
paddling comfortably on their own. The other goal is that these campers will pass down their boating
safety knowledge, like the importance of PFDs, to any adults who may accompany them on future
boating excursions.
Campers learn to sail in a variety of different sailboats, including 8' Sabots, 14' IRS Guests, IRS
Ventures, and 22' J22s. Campers also learn to paddle in kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
Campers are split between age groups, with ages 6-8 sailing as a group in the 16' IRS Ventures,
accompanied by an instructor. When not sailing, campers learn how to paddle in kayaks. The SUP
instruction is provided only to campers at least eight years of age, because SUPS are more difficult
to control. Ages eight and above learn to sail in the sabots, Quests and J22s, paired in groups, with
coaches instructing from coach boats. This age group learns to paddle in both the kayaks and on
the SUPs.
Campers are taught according to their individual level of boating knowledge. Most campers are
absolute beginners, but we do see some returning campers. Ail campers are provided with
information prior to camp on what to wear, how to protect themselves with closed -toe shoes and sun
{protection. Campers learn sailing fundamentals, 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.
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 f6lowed 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 furl 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
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.
Conlmd 4 C8989330, City or Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2024-25, date; 04109/2025 Page: 77 of 117
Exhibit A
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 Guest, position the Guest 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 how to self -rescue in the event a sailboat
capsizes.
We do not teach boating safety by putting 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 oft 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 or other students. 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 independently, we
have succeeded in creating sailors who have been trained in all aspects of boating and who will
continue their adventure while positively influencing others on the water.
By the end of camp, students know the parts of the boat and sail, how to rig and derig, haw to read
the wind and apply that to sailing. They know the points of sail and how to steer their boat, always in
control. They learn tacking and jibing and sail trim, so the boat doesn't heel. They know how to dock
and tie proper knots. And very importantly, 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 became good boating safety
influencers for adults.

These sailing camps, ages 8-16, do not include paddling, but are strictly sailing -focused, with week-
long summer camps, morning and afternoon. The summer camps include a sailing camp taught in
the IRS Quest for ages 8-16, a single-handed sailing camp taught in sabots for ages 9-16, and an
introduction to keelboat sailing for teens taught in the J22 for ages 13-17. All of these camps are
introductory camps.
Campers learn sailing fundamentals, boating safety, and respect for the water and other boaters.
They learn how to navigate Newport Harbor, how to identify wind and current directions, rules of the
road, and the importance of lifejackets.
We let our campers come up with their list of rules at the beginning of camp and, invariably, they all

Exhibit A
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.
By the end of camps, students have been introduced to the new language used in boating and
sailing. They can name parts of the boat and the sail. They understand what the different lines do on
the boat, how to trim sails according to different points of sail, and the basics of how to safely steer
a sailboat. The goal is that they take this boating safety knowledge and use it in the future when
boating with other adults, effectively becoming ambassadors for proper lifejacket use and safe
boating.

Our ACE after -school sailing classes run in 5 or 6-week sessions, by the quarter, throughout the
year. Instructors walk to the school dawn the street to pick up the students and walk them back to
Marina Park. It's a phenomenal opportunity for us to reach local school children, with minimum effort
required of the parent, as any child in after school care gets walked back to the elementary school
after sailing.
This class is for students in grade two and up. Students are paired in IRS Quests and sailing on the
first day. Course objectives closely align with all the educational topics in 9 A-C, with emphasis on
the importance of lifejackets and an introduction to boating and water safety. This class runs
similarly to summer camp, with on share instruction as well hands-on learning. Children are taught
about wind direction, boating traffic patterns, parts of the boat and sail, how to steer, how to trim the
sails, points of sail, haw to rig and derig, docking and self -rescue. They learn about the bay and its
creatures, as well as about tides and basic rules of the road.
By the end of the class, we see quite a few of the older students really comprehend the basics of
sailing. They're able to steer the boat on all paints of sail and understand how the mainsheet
controls the boat as well as the tiller. For the younger students, the goal is that they learn about
basic water safety, and that their confidence around boats grows. Most children who live in this area
will find themselves on boating outings, so our goal is that they can be a knowledgeable example of
well -trained boaters,

Private lessons remain popular at Marina Park, We offer three-hour privates lessons in the J22, IRS
Quest or RS Venture, even the sabot. Sometimes the instructor is on board with the student, and at
other times, the instructor coaches from a coach boat. No sailing experience is necessary, and we
welcome all levels of ability and ages. Students vary from one person interested in finessing a
particular skill to a family with two children just wanting to experience time on the water.

Exhibit A
As with all our classes, the safe boating topics in 9 A — C are addressed during the class. Instructors
incorporate all of these topics into the curriculum for all of our sailing classes. All students learn to
properly fit a lifejacket and why to wear one. Instructors teach wind, current and tides. students are
shown buoys around the bay and what they mean. They are taught control of the boat, so they can
safely maneuver. By the end of class students know how to rig and derig, steer the boat, trim the
sails according to wind direction, dock properly and tie the boat up correctly.
One-on-one instruction is invaluable, as a student can progress quickly. Sometimes, the sensory
input from a larger sailing class can be overwhelming for a student. You're typically put in a boat by
yourself, the sails are luffing, the coach is shouting at you from another boat and you're feeling out
of control. Instead, in a private lesson, that atmosphere is calmed down, allowing the brain to take in
more information, as the student is no longer stressed by these environmental and teaching factors.
The beauty of the private lesson is it allows an individual to schedule a class, virtually based on their
own convenience, rather than having to wait for a regularly scheduled class. As instructors are
available, these private lessons are scheduled.

ff 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 Manna Park to paddle, for others the decision is spur of the
moment. For many customers, this is their first paddling adventure, 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 stand-up paddleboards, City staff
provides a comprehensive boating safety orientation that starts immediately upon the customer's
arrival, with an immediate 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 at ail times.
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 Southwest 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 customer 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

Exhibit A
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,
having had an enjoyable experience with no issues.
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 lake 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 do 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. A 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
comprehensive boating safety message.

12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. to your answer, discuss course

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety Improved by educating them?
If [his is an intermediate or advanced course, haw does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
The Adaptive Sailing programming is intended to expand the limited boating safety educational
opportunities for people with disabilities in the Southern California area. The overall course objective
is to provide boating safety lessons to people with disabilities, showing them how to be
ambassadors for the sport, passing along the boating safety message.
People with disabilities access the bay and ocean with family and friends, but there are limited
boating safety courses available to them in Newport Harbor. There is one "experiential" outfit that
offers a few "rides" for individuals several times a year, the American Legion brings in visually
impaired sailors to give rides on another occasion, but there are no official boating safety courses
For people with disabilities, taught by highly qualified and US Sailing -certified instructors. This is the
City's opportunity to create programming that addresses safe boating for people with even high
levels of disability, whether physical, emotional, or cognitive.
Just recently, the City hosted a comprehensive three-day US Sailing Adaptive Sailing Instructor
Workshop. US Sailing sent an instructor who was the actual author of the standardized book on
adaptive sailing in the United States. Our instructors learned everything from how to develop and

Exhibit A
implement a program, to working with a wide variety of disabilities, to adapting boats.
Based on what we learned during this US Sailing [raining, the City and OCC have decided to start
providing adaptive sailing through a private lesson platform. This allows us to learn in a methodical
fashion how to teach adaptive sailing to one person, rather than opening up instruction to groups at
this point. Teaching adaptive sailing is complex.
We are currently developing the curriculum for this adaptive private lesson format. The course will
cover all the topics in Ouestions 9 A-C, genera[ education, navigational rules and aids, non -boating
safety education elements and, of course, comprehensive vessel operation and hands-on training.
These lessons will cover the same topics of the City's Beginning Keelboat class, introducing sailors
to proper boarding (or transferring), rigging (using specific techniques), wind direction, points of sail
and sail trim, proper steering, proper lookout, emergency protocols, rules of the road — all with a US
Sailing adaptive sailing endorsed instructor on board with the student. Family and friends will be
welcome to take the class, increasing the reach of the boating safety message. Chase boats will
accompany the class for an added safety measure.
But, more than simple instruction, each class will consider they myriad of nuances and ever -
