I clarified with buttons on Friday. The skipper can switch sides. But you know
that the crew cannot. They are going to be in the adapted seats like the
disabled. I would practice with using your foot as leverage. Because I feel
that as crew you might not have as much since you will be sitting a little
higher up.

Hey Grace,
Is it possible to practice with an offset Marc this week. I think of the good
practice for everyone. As I’m pretty sure they will have an offset Marc at
the Robbie. Also I don’t know if you heard from Duane but I got an email from
the Robbie asking what side they want the blind skippers to sit on as we are
now required to be in fixed spots. I wasn’t aware of this and in unsure how
this will work for us.

Pre-season/Robie Pierce practice continues this Wednesday, May 22, at 5:30
PM at Community Boating. We will be practicing in Ideal 18s.
Last week we had two Ideals and two sonars full of sailors, plus Renee in
the committee boat and an excellent crew of dog handlers on shore - thanks
Iris, Cammie, and Joey! We practiced stopping at a mark, several practice
starts, and a race. We also discussed all the things you can do to kill the
time between the 5 minute warning and the starting gun, such as checking
which side of the line is favored and where the puffs are coming down the
course.
This week we will start off practice with a couple of drills again, then go
on to practice starts and races.
Please reply to this email if you plan to attend on Wednesday so we can
reserve the right number of boats! See you there!
Your devoted coaches,
Grace and Leo
