Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 1)
The organization is specifically set up to enhance boating safety as part of its main mission and has
the ability to help DBW provide boating education courses.
How does your organization -or the segment of your organization that will be utilizing funding- promote boating
safety as a primary activity or goal? Discuss mission statements, strategic plan, goals, etc. that help
demonstrate your organization's focus on boating safety education.
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
the quality of life by providing diverse opportunities in safe and well -maintained facilities,
open spaces, and parks. We pledge to respond to community needs by creating quality
educational, environmental, recreational, cultural, and social programs for people of all
ages."
When the City opened Marina Park, its objective was to provide boating safety education to
the general public and public access for everyone to Newport Harbor. The bay is
surrounded by multi -million -dollar homes, and there are thousands of powerboats and
sailboats in the harbor, some at private docks and others renting mooring cans. The bay
draws people from all over onto the water, and this waterfront facility provides an
exceptional platform for disseminating boating safety information. The City's cost-effective
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, public park, boat marina, and
restaurant bring constant foot traffic past the Sailing and Boating office. Staff is speaking
daily with passers-by and promoting boating safety.
The City had been providing sailing lessons for the public on the beach for decades but,
with the opening of Marina Park, this facility allowed for the City to increase its public
access and safe boating educational opportunities. 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 a boating adventure - for a day of enjoyment or a
lifetime of fun. Marina Park Sailing and Boating staff are committed to sharing sailing and
boating through comprehensive sailing classes, as well as sailboat and paddle equipment
rentals. Any time staff puts a person on the water, it is done with boating safety as the
number one priority. Each rental customer receives a thorough boating safety orientation,
with discussion of technique, wind, current, self -rescue, local rules — and, of course, staff
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 9 of 92
Exhibit A
fits each person with a Coast Guard -approved lifejacket.
This summer alone, Sailing and Boating staff put 2,143 sailing and paddling customers of
all ages on the water, providing an in -person boating safety message. Each of those
customers enjoyed their time on the water, safely and without incident.
The City's fleet consists of six J22's, 12 RS Quests, 2 RS Ventures, 20 Schock Sabots, 3
Lido 14s, as well as 35 SUPs and 24 Kayaks - all of which are used for the City's sailing
and boating classes. The City has also added to its fleet three DBAW-granted coach boats,
which have been used for hundreds of hours of sailing instruction.
The City offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced sailing classes to people of all ages,
in both dinghies and keelboats, and is open seven days a week, year-round. One of the
City's most popular classes is the "Parent and Me" in which parents can accompany their
children and learn together. The City summer youth camps have always been well -
attended and have taught countless youth, through the years, how to be safe boaters.
Thus far this year, the City has offered 134 different sailing classes, teaching beginning
sailors of all ages, as well as return sailors.
The City also oversees the paddle rentals and sailboat rentals (Sail Pass). With both rental
entities, the City perceives this as another opportunity to provide a boating safety message
to its customers. Rather than provide a renter with a board and paddle and no education,
our experienced and trained City staff take the time to provide a comprehensive orientation
on proper stance, holding of the paddle, technique, boat traffic, boating rules, capsize
information and safety tips. Our staff carefully explains wind direction, how to read the wind
with flags and ripples, and why the wind is a key factor in paddling, along with tides and
current. Staff encourages each of our paddlers to begin their journey paddling upwind, so
that they recognize the difference when they are met with a headwind. Although California
law states that a PFD only needs to be on board, the City rule is that all our paddlers must
wear a properly fitting, City -provided, US Coast Guard approved lifejacket. Staff takes the
time to fit each paddler, explaining why a loose PFD serves no purpose. Staff ensures that
each jacket is snugly fitted, and that the paddler understands why they're wearing one.
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 hail 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. Not to tempt fate, but the City has put thousands of paddlers on the water
without a single incident.
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

Exhibit A
students who have learned to sail in the City program, and now the Sail Pass allows them
access to the bay with their family and friends, introducing more people to boating safely.
The City will continue growing the program, providing a boating safety education to as
many people as possible — and that now includes a plan to include people with disabilities.
The City will build a program specifically designed to accommodate people with any level
of physical disability. The City owns two RS Ventures that were purchased with the specific
intent of modifying them with adaptive sailing gear. The City will host an adaptive sailing
instructor training session with US Sailing teachers who specialize in this field. Already,
the City has installed a hoist that can be used for the transfer of sailors who have
disabilities, and Sailing and Boating is developing a specific format for reaching as many
people as possible with a safe boating message.
Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 2)
Tell us why DBW should fund your program (not why you need the funding). In other words, how would it
benefit boaters for you to be a recipient of this funding? This is an opportunity for you to tell how your program
stands out. Give examples. For instance, do you have specific expertise, a stellar safety record, unique
learning opportunities for boaters, or other things that make your program stand out?
• The City's Marina Park Sailing and Boating program is one of only a few boating safety
education operations in this area serving a population of millions.
• Demand in this area is high for public access to the water.
• The City of Newport Beach has provided sailing and boating classes for decades.
• The City has an exceptional safety record; never having an incident in any of its sailing 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.
• Because of its beautiful, public bayfront location, Marina Park draws residents and visitors
from all over the world. This provides a unique opportunity to reach "non -boating" segments
of the population with a boating safety message. On a daily basis staff is discussing boating
safety with the steady traffic flow of people using the park.
• 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 developed a summer sailing program for the Girl
Scouts this past year.
• Sailing and Boating offers a Sail Pass program for students to continue their boating
adventure by renting the City's sailboats, upon successful completion of an internal boating
safety testing process — yet another opportunity to reach customers with a boating safety
message. Students take a written test as well as an on -water assessment. All tests are
reviewed with the student.
• Sailing and Boating offers a variety of sailing classes for all ages and levels of ability;
students can choose to learn in five different types of sailboats, including both dinghies and
keelboats.
• Sailing and Boating has a fleet of 43 sailboats dedicated to learning.
• The City has staffed three full-time and at least 13 part-time employees to run Sailing and
Boating seven days a week, year-round.
• Sailing and Boating provides cost-effective access to the water for the general public.
• 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
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 11 of 92

they can come back to the Legion qualified to rent the American Legion sailboats.
With more than three million residents in Orange County, this is the third most populous county in
California and the sixth most populous in the United States. Newport Harbor is the largest
recreational boat harbor on the US west coast, and a popular destination for all boating activities,
including sailing, fishing, rowing, kayaking and paddle boarding.
Now more than ever, there is a significant need for boating safety education here in the harbor. Our
program in Newport Beach stands out because, despite the millions of residents and visitors, Marina
Park Sailing and Boating is one of only a few operations in town that provide public access to
Newport Harbor, along with boating education for the general public. And the City runs Sailing and
Boating seven days a week, year-round with three full-time and at least 13 part-time employees.
The City of Newport Beach has been offering sailing classes, contracting with outside instructors, for
decades. The City has provided boating safety knowledge to thousands of people of all ages. There
has never been a safety incident (knock on wood) in any of the sailing classes or rentals. Safety is
the City's number one priority in all its classes and rentals, with fun closely ranked behind safety.
The City requires that every sailor and every paddler wears a properly -fitted lifejacket while on the
water, so the US Coast Guard PFD message is regularly repeated to thousands of City boating
customers every year. City staff doesn't simply hand over lifejackets but, instead, works with each
boater to properly fit and secure their lifejacket, explaining why a snug fit is mandatory.
The sheer number of visitors to Marina Park every year makes this venue a unique and ideal
platform for disseminating boating safety information. 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
developed a boating safety sailing program for the Girls Scouts, as well, this past summer.
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.
For the demographic that is already interested in boating, Marina Park is an exciting option
because, not only do we provide the classes from beginning through advanced in both dinghies and
keelboats, but the City then has the Sail Pass program, which provides access so a City -educated
sailor may continue their journey with family and friends. To participate in the City Sail Pass
program, the sailor must take an internal on -water and written "ratings" boating safety test in either a
dinghy, keelboat or both separately to be able to take out those boats. Once a prospective sailor
passes a City -proctored, 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.
The City provides a wide variety of sailing classes that appeal to all ages and levels of ability. Some
classes are structured with the instructor onboard to provide an additional comfort level for the
uncertain beginner. Classes are designed to try to accommodate people's busy lives, so there's
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 12 of 92
Exhibit A
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 sailboat fleet that the City owns is diversified; from one -person dinghies that appeal to our
youth, to bigger keelboats that provide more comfort for our older demographic. The City owns 20
Schock sabots, three Lido 14's, two RS Ventures, six J22s and 12 RS Quests. Instructors are
always active sailors, certified by US Sailing, with years of coaching and sailing experience. The
City staff hired to run Marina Park Sailing and Boating includes several experienced boaters, as well
as staff who have been involved since the inception of the Marina Park program.
In terms of safety at the facility, Marina Park has always had three safety boats on the docks,
prepared with floating tow -line, small step ladder, spare lifejackets, as well as a prop guard. The
safety boats have always been on the water during any classes and camps, for more than just
instructional purposes. They have been used as a safety platform, close to the on -water activity and
ready to respond, if ever needed. In fact, the safety boat has responded on two separate occasions
(NOT related to our boating program), when swimmers off the public bay beach needed rescuing.
Our instructors responded, even before the beach lifeguard, and pulled struggling swimmers to
safety. All the instructors who work at Marina Park have always been CPR/First Aid certified. In
addition, all the instructors who have been hired to teach boating safety for the City have always
carried at least a US Sailing Small Boat Level 1 certification, if not a Basic Keelboat Instructor
Certification as well. 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.
Objective 1 - 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, how did you determine that the identified problems were significant?
Overcrowding remains the most significant boating safety problem in Newport Harbor, and
competing uses of our bay between a variety of different types of boaters is a key concern.
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 (except this past year) 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.
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
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 13 of 92
Exhibit A
boats at increased speed, putting out ocean -sized wake and creating an exceptional safety
hazard.
The rental operations around the harbor rent out electric motor Duffy's, as well as a slew of
paddleboards, kayaks, and fishing skiffs. No experience is required and, often, this is the
first time these renters have ventured out onto Newport Harbor - or even onto the water.
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 about wind and current.
Finally, there are enormous charter boats that cruise with parties and weddings onboard
through the federal channel. Although they are professionally captained and travel at slow
speeds, they are difficult to maneuver, posing an added danger to the uneducated boaters
on the water, who cut right in front of them.
In all, our bay, which draws so many visitors, has a distinct need for the boater safety
education that we provide. Despite not teaching powerboat education specifically, the City
produces knowledgeable sailors, who then are competent to exercise their skills on their
pleasure outings with friends and families on sailboats or powerboats. The City's sailing
classes teach Rules of the Road, lifejacket safety, and boat maneuvering. Sailors are
generally much more informed and capable on the water than powerboaters, as there are
many more complexities in operating a sailboat, which can then transition into competent
powerboat operation.
Objective 1 - Targeted Boating Safety Education Approach (Page 4)
3.b. How does the material covered in the course curriculums that you offer directly address these identified
problems? Provide specific examples of material in your curriculum(s) that directly relate to the issues described
in 3.a.
The US Coast Guard says the top ten contributing factors to boating accidents include the
following:
Operator inattention
Operator lookout
Operator inexperience
Excessive speeding
Alcohol use
Machinery failure
Navigation rules violation
Hazardous weather conditions
Hazardous water conditions
Excessive force of wave or wake
Each of these contributing factors is exacerbated by overcrowding, and the City of Newport
Beach classes are designed to give sailors the tools to recognize and avoid these 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
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 14 of 92
Exhibit A
information to our students on, but not limited to, the following topics that help our sailors
navigate safely in any overcrowded harbor:
Wind direction - the key concept in sailing: Knowing how to read the wind is the first
critical step in keeping a sailor safe and in control. Being in absolute control of a sailboat at
all times, regardless of not having an engine, helps prevent accidents. 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. 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.
Safety Position - how to slow your boat in order to stand-by to avoid a collision or to return
to the dock slowly. As mentioned above, students are taught the "safety position." Again,
absolute control of the boat at all times is a fundamental pillar of our teachings. If a sailor
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.
Contract 4 C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 15 of 92
Exhibit A
Safe speed - stated speed is 5 knots for powerboats. When sailing in Newport Harbor, the
Inland Right of Way Rules apply. When boats are moving close, we teach our students
which boat is "stand on" and which is "give way". We teach that there are rules that
apply between different types of craft on the water, as well as rules that apply when there
are commercial boats and large boats in confined waterways (our harbor.) 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
Boy Scouts of America Sea Base
Variety of yacht clubs
These are the main programs within the bay offering boating safety courses. The yacht clubs teach
sailing, but their focus is on competition, which the City does not focus upon. The Sea Base
provides Boy Scouts merit badge youth camps of all sorts, on and off the water, including youth
sailing, however they do not provide any adult sailing classes. Also, the Sea Base uses different
types of instructional dinghies than the City offers for its classes. Finally, Orange Coast College
offers youth and adult classes, however their boats used for sailing classes are, again, totally
different, providing a different learning experience. OCC also offers ocean navigation, engine
maintenance and repair, long distance ocean sailing and cruising, and powerboat classes - all
outside the realm of what the City of Newport Beach is offering. In fact, we find that OCC is a good
complement to the City classes, as we focus upon the strict beginner giving them the skills in either
dinghies or keelboats, so that they can become confident skippers within our harbor. For the sailors
who then advance to offshore boating, navigation and powerboating, OCC provides the next step of
instruction. Since April of 2021, when OCC came onboard as the sailing vendor for the City, both
entitites have found great synergy, meshing their programs so that the student has the best of
opportunities.

It's important to note that the City regards Marina Park Sailing and Boating as a community service,
and has made an extraordinary commitment to providing boating safety education and boating
access to the public. The City owns and maintains a large fleet of sailboats, 6 J22s, 12 IRS Quests,
2 IRS Ventures, 3 Lido 14s, and 12 Schock sabots. It also owns a 24 kayaks and 35 SUPs that are
used for boating safety education as well. The City assumes the costs of the Sailing and Boating
facility, with boat bay and docks. In addition, the City covers the yearly employment costs of its full
and part-time staffers.
A yearly budget is set by the City, and Sailing and Boating is allotted $5,000 yearly for its program.
As you can imagine, running this program and maintaining a fleet of 42 boats, including the three
DBW coach boats far exceeds that $5,000 line item. In the last three years, the DBW grant has
allowed Sailing and Boating to acquire three coach boats, as well as to purchase sorely needed

maintenance and safety items. The DBW grant assists greatly in keeping this safet boating program
afloat.
Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4)
13. Conducting Evaluation & Implementing Improvements
13.a List one important program improvement that was implemented in the last calendar year:
The City just completed the second full year of sailing instruction with its new sailing vendor, OCC.
For summer camps this past two summers, the City tapped into its own resources and programmed
a marine biologist to visit each summer camp once a week. The marine biologist provided half-hour
hands-on lessons, different each week. They ranged from a discussion of sharks, with baby sharks
in jars (crowd pleaser), to examining the oysters that have affixed themselves on our bulkheads,
quietly sifting through any pollution as the tides come in and out.
Each week was a different STEM lesson, with hand-outs and artwork, like seashell magnets, that
the sailors were able to take home. The kids loved it! Sailing is such a STEM -based sport, so it was
productive for the students to hear about the tides and the winds from a purely scientific viewpoint.
The City plans to continue this program next summer.
Also this summer, the Sailing & Boating program also stepped up its involvement with the
City's Teen Leader program. While bringing on Teen Leaders, young volunteers, might not have an
obvious correlation with boating safety, the City believes that it does. Much like virtually all of the
Southern California community boating centers that presented at the DBW two-day seminar, the
City is challenged by attracting staff, due to the current entry level salary dilemma. The City finds it
difficult to compete with other outside entities that pay more, like fast food chains in California, as
well as the continually rising minimum wage. By bringing on City youth this summer as Teen
Leaders, we trained about nine potential future Sailing and Boating staff. All are close to turning 16
and have expressed interest in working for the City at Sailing and Boating once they get their
Driver's Licenses. We worked with the Teen Leaders to teach them how to fit lifejackets, how to
assist sailors on the docks, and paddlers on the water. They worked with the camps, assisting the
sailing instructors on and off the water, all the while learning sailing and boating safety in the
process. The intent is to create a pipeline of future Sailing and Boating staff, who already are
familiar with the program and are already safe boaters.
To identify areas for improvement, City Recreation managers conduct periodic audits of classes and
camps run by City contracted instructors. These audits measure overall instructor performance
including, but not limited to enthusiasm, positive attitude, warmth, empathy, knowledge, patience,
helpfulness, preparation, effectiveness, clarity and appearance. Contracted instructors are assessed
and provided with constructive feedback. The City also holds bi-annual contract instructor meetings
with all contracted City instructors to train, go over policies, procedures, and set expectations for the
upcoming program seasons. If desired, we can provide a PDF that gives an idea of what is covered
at these meetings.
The City is invested in providing excellent customer service and solicits feedback after every class.
The City sends out surveys to program participants at the end of their class period as an
assessment. Customer feedback is gathered regarding the following: instructor's ability to
communicate, keep students active and engaged, overall teaching quality, expectations and were
they met, would customer repeat the class, things they'd change about the class and things they
liked most about the class.

Exhibit A
The City also puts together a summary at the end of each quarter that gives a snapshot of its
findings. This is for all programs throughout the City, not just Sailing & Boating. Positive notes are
distributed through the City Manager's newsletter, and feedback is provided to instructors as well as
considered in the planning process for future classes.

13 c. What benefits have you noticed since implementing the improvement?
It is easy to see when the sailors are engaged and happily enjoying the lesson, with the help of
the marine biologists. Sailors gathered on the beach under a tent or in the boat bay on a tarp
and clamored to hold the jar with the baby shark or touch the sea sponge. Parents were pleased
that tangible lessons were presented on STEM subjects. The take-home handouts probably
generated discussions at home about the moon and why it affects the tides or what critters lived
in the shells their magnets represented.
While this was one small part of a much larger program, the benefits for these campers on a
weekly basis were impactful and definitely dove -tailed with the STEM lessons they were learning
on the water sailing, like geometric angles with tacking or wind direction and ripples with current.
In regards to the Teen Leaders, they provided an immediate benefit to Sailing and Boating
because we put them to work, assisting our other staff. The Teen Leaders were responsible for
learning almost all aspects of Sailing and Boating, short of the administrative work left to our
regular staff. The Teen Leaders assisted with everything from equipment maintenance to
working with campers as they learned to sail. Long term, the City is counting on the fact that
these Teen Leaders will make highly qualified regular staff for the Sailing and Boating program.
Objective 3 - To fund organization that are efficient, and financially solvent. (Page 4-4)
14. What methods do you use ensure that your programming stays current with new trends?
The City of NB offers a large variety of recreational classes to the public, accommodating all ages,
infants to seniors. Because it offers so many different classes, including sailing and boating, the
City must hire out contract instructors who are specialists in each field of recreation. There is no
way the City could staff specialist instructors in the myriad of programs it offers.
However, the Sailing and Boating program runs differently because there is City staff managing this
one program, and the City has made a large financial commitment with the purchase of equipment
dedicated to its community boating program. The City has a vested interest in ensuring its Sailing
and Boating program is successful. The only aspect of this program that is contracted out is the
hiring of the expert instructors, from OCC, to teach the classes. The City staff members hired to
manage this program are qualified to instruct, but the City has dedicated this internal staff to
developing, implementing and managing the program's procedures and day to day operations.
All the OCC instructors who teach the City sailing classes are certified, at least, as US Sailing Small
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 24 of 92
Exhibit A
Boat Level 1 instructors, some of them with US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certification. Our City
coordinator and equipment staffer, as well as a few part-time staff, are US Sailing members and
active sailors and racers with extensive boating and sailing experience, both personally and
professionally. Thus, staff is directly tied into the latest coaching techniques, lesson plans and
equipment developments from US Sailing and other resources. Because some of our staff and
instructors are actively involved in competition across the country, they are exposed to sailors and
coaches from all over, as well as other community boating centers, which often host regattas.
Interaction with other community boating managers is often helpful with a variety of topics including
teaching, pricing, equipment, staffing, and administration. In addition to staffs personal contacts
within the boating community, DBW provides an excellent resource of boating managers in
California. The workshops are helpful, particularly with the open conversation centering on how
each agency approaches running its individual program.
The City also relies upon customer feedback, actively soliciting input and distributing customer and
instructor surveys after each class.

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.
o 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.
o If 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-
ReplacemenURefurbishment Items category.
• Engines
o 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.
o If you are requesting multiple engines of the same type for a similar use, you may combine them into a
single worksheet.
• Trailers
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 dolly.
• Modular Docking
o 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
o 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 cost 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 boat 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 for listing
things like a Safety boat. That item belongs in its own category with its own 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 DBW staff to get clarity and avoid
possible disqualification.

2. Justification for this specific equipment.
Instructions
Please respond to the following questions regarding this specific request.
2. Justification for use of: Supplies-Replacement/Refurbishment Items
2 a, How will this particular request improve your boating safety education program?
The upkeep of the City's equipment is key to being able to continue this boating safety education program.
Safety is the City's number one priority, and if the equipment is not well maintained, then it defeats the
purpose of teaching boating safety. All these items need replacement and or refurbishment. The adaptive
equipment will modify our existing RS Ventures and allow the City of Newport Beach to provide boating
safety education to everyone, including people with high level disabilities. The keelboats and their sails
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 28 of 92
Exhibit A
have provided thousands of hours of instruction since they were purchased seven years ago. The sails can
be heaped in a soft ball now. The tents that cover the J22s and keep lines and blocks out of the elements
pre -date the start of programming at Marina Park (2015). We've been trying to patch them as the years
have gone by, but the material is finally disintegrating. The kayak paddles are used for the thousands of
boating safety orientations we conduct each year, as well as for sailing camps. They've been used since
2015, so they're beginning to crack. And the lifejacket rack that prominently displays our most used safety
equipment is rusting from the salt air. The rack allows for ease of lifejacket fitting with students, an integral
part of our programming.
2 b. What are the detriments to not receiving it?
The detriment to not receiving these pieces of equipment is that our boats will start to deteriorate, creating
safety issues. Sails will start to tear, catching on rigging and potentially creating a hazard on the water.
Without tents that cover the boats completely, lines and blocks will start to feel the elements and break
down. Our lifejackets are a mainstay of our program, prominently displayed on a huge rack that is
beginning to rust in the salt air. We want to stop the rust's progress so that we can continue to display our
lifejackets on this rack for easy fitting with customers. The kayak paddles, despite excellent care, are
beginning to show their age after thousands of use hours since 2015. They're beginning to crack, so they
need replacement for us to continue with our paddling boating safety lessons. And, without adaptive
equipment, the City would not be able to create a comprehensive boating safety education program for
people with disabilities.
2 c. Discuss why this particular type or model works best for your program.
The sail quote we're providing is the least expensive from local sail making companies, made from heavy
duty, long-lasting cloth to endure the wear and tear of boating education. The J22 tent covers will be made
by our local sail cloth vendor, who always provides marine quality, cost-effective work, with longevity in
mind. The kayak paddles have lasted for eight years in our program; they are the correct weight and the
perfect paddle for our program needs. We've priced the least expensive but quality powder coating for the
lifejacket rack to eliminate the current rust and prevent further rusting. And, finally, the adaptive equipment
is specifically made by IRS Boats for the IRS Venture. The City purchased the IRS Venture specifically
because this boat could be easily adapted for people with high level disabilities, with the bucket seating and
joy still control steering.
2 d. How long do you expect to use this
equipment?
The J22 mainsails have lasted for six years, so the
estimate is that the new sails will last for at least four to five
years, based on the plan to increase the number of boating
safety educational hours in the keelboats. The J22 tents
should last at least another eight years. The kayak paddles
are used in the Boating Safety Orientations and youth
sailing camps, and the new paddles should last at least
another eight years, as will the lifejacket rack refurbish.
The adaptive equipment should last for the lifetime of the
IRS Ventures, which could be decades.
2 e. If this request is for a replacement item, how The City of Newport Beach owns six J22 keelboats, which
old is the equipment you want to replace? (If are a main staple of all the boating safety education
not applicable, enter N/A.) classes. There is tremendous use of these boats in several
classes, and because of that, the sails do get consistent
use. Instructors teach students to not flog the sails - let
them flap aimlessly in the breeze, because as students are
taught, this breaks down the fibers or resilience in the sails
and makes them age. It's a testament to the level of care
our staff and instructors take with these sails because they
have lasted since 2017 when the last six mainsails were
purchased for this program. Also testament to the way City
staff maintains our equipment is that we cover each of our
J22s between use. The tents used to cover the J22s have
not been replaced since at least 2015, probably longer, and

2 f. Provide the estimated number of people who

lifetime.
3. Course Titles Using this Equipment
they keep moisture and the elements off the boats sitting
year-round at the dock. The kayak paddles were purchased
in 2015 and have been used in thousands of Boating
Safety Orientations in that time, and the lifejacket rack was
purchased in 2015 as well.
This past year we provided boating safety education to
2,667 individuals. If you consider that the sails will last
another six years and approximately 700 people use the
keelboats every year, that's 4200 people who will get use
out of the J22 sails. The other requested items would be
used by all our yearly 2, 677 boating safety students. If
those items last eight years, that's 21,416 people using the
equipment. For the adaptive sailing equipment, we hope to
reach 200 people a year, so decades of use for the
equipment adds up to thousands of people who will learn
boating safety using the adaptive equipment on the IRS
Ventures.
Please complete the equipment detail and population segment charts below listing not only the piece of
equipment, but all courses that the equipment will be used. (Example: fleet of vessels) DBW wants to know the

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. The City intends to create
programming that will serve a wider range of disabilities, with adaptive equipment and instructors
specifically trained by US Sailing in adaptive methods. These classes 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
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
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 33 of 92
Exhibit A
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.

2.a. Describe the need for this course and how it will benefit your program.
Teaching sailing and boating safety is a complex undertaking, in and of itself. Adding a student with
a disability to a class increases the level of complexity. The City would not consider undertaking
adaptive sailing without having its instructors properly trained and nationally certified in all aspects
of providing an adaptive program.
US Sailing is the National Governing Body for the sport of sailing and has a three-day, 25-hour
Adaptive Sailing Instructor Workshop, which is a "train the trainer" course. This workshop covers all
aspects of creating and managing an adaptive sailing program. Topics include facility requirements,
disability types/populations, breaking down barriers to participation, safety requirements,
volunteer/staff training and a detailed overview of how to correctly adapt your equipment, or what
equipment to purchase.
The workshop is intended for experienced instructors, preferably already with a US Sailing Small
Boat Level 1 and/or Basic Keelboat Instructor Certification. We plan to train eight instructors, so
they are fully qualified to provide adaptive safe boating instruction in the City sailboats. When the
City purchased the two RS Ventures, the intent was to modify these boats with adaptive gear, so
that the City could offer adaptive boating safety classes. With this US Sailing instruction, we'll also
learn how to modify the City's six J22s, which should serve as another viable platform for teaching
boating safety to people with disabilities.
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/2912024 Page: 35 of 92
Exhibit A
There really aren't any options for teaching boating safety to people with disabilities here in Newport
Harbor. There's one person who takes people for experiential rides, but there's no boating safety
education involved, and the American Legion Yacht Club in the harbor occasionally provides rides
for people with visual impairment. Again, no boating safety education is provided. These are simply
rides given by non -certified instructors, who are volunteers from around the bay who know how to
sail.
This US Sailing instruction will allow the City to confidently and safely provide education to people
who currently have no safe boating educational options within our harbor. The City aims to create
two "Day on the Bay", full -day experiences for people to come with their friends for more
abbreviated boating safety experiences. Also, the City will create classes specifically designed for
people with disabilities that they can enjoy with their friends, as well. These classes may be a series
of sessions or one -day classes, depending on what is easiest and most convenient for participants.
With the US Sailing adaptive training for instructors the City can provide boating safety educational
options that follow a highly -specialized format that has been tried and perfected by the very best —
US Sailing. Without this US Sailing training, the City would not be able to proceed with these all-
inclusive boating safety classes.
Need for Financial Assistance - (Page 2)
2.b. What alternative courses did you research and why did you choose this one? If only one course will meet your
needs, please explain.
US Sailing was founded in 1897, and its mission is to provide leadership for the sport of sailing in
the United States. There really is no other option when it comes to getting the best adaptive sailing
instructor training and certification.
US Sailing sets the national standard for sailing instruction in the United States, so there's no better
offering of adaptive instructor training. US Sailing is involved with the Paralympics and the Para
World Sailing Committee, which promotes all types of sailing for people with all types and degrees
of disability. The values of the Committee are equality, opportunity to excel, and empowerment for
sailors with all levels of different abilities.
The US Sailing Adaptive Sailing Instructor Workshop provides the instructor with not only hands-on
training and equipment modification knowledge, but with an understanding of the many nuances
that are to be heeded when conducting an adaptive program.
US Sailing recognizes that "People faced with a disability often experience a loss of confidence, get
depressed, and believe their lives have ended. Sailing offers the opportunity to take control again: to
create shared experiences; build self-confidence; and focus on possibilities — instead of dwelling on
what can no longer be done."
US Sailing sends a highly trained instructor, free of charge, to the venue for the three-day training.
And each participant is provided with a copy of the US Sailing Adaptive Sailing Resource Manual.
The classes are comprehensive, covering communication, specific needs, facility requirements,
safety and risk management, program development, instructional techniques, transfers and assisted
lifts, and equipment adaptations, amongst other resources.
The City of Newport Beach recognizes that people with disabilities want to get on the water, so the
City wants to provide boating safety programming that includes and is tailored to everyone —
programming that is taught by instructors who learned from the very best, US Sailing.

If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test This class is unique because it can be taken at least a couple of
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 basics of sailing,
watching as students sail on all points of sail, looking for
demonstration of critical knowledge, like wind direction, docking,
rigging, tacking, jibing, boat handling, rules of the road, control of
the boat and steering. If a student does not have the basics down,
the instructor will definitely recommend that they repeat the
Beginner class.
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

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

C. If you selected 11 B, 1-4, describe the test The Intermediate Dinghy class appeals to a wide ability of sailor,
or skills evaluation but typically upon successful completion of this class, the sailor will
take our on -water skill evaluation and written test. A good rule of
thumb for our instructors is for them to ask themselves, "Would I
want this person hopping in my personal sailboat by themselves
and going for a sail?" If the answer is no, then the student repeats
the Intermediate class. Clearly, there is a checklist of minimum
standards that an instructor looks for in an intermediate sailor:
complete control of the boat, ability to maneuver and slow down,
docking prowess, rigging and right of way knowledge, ability to sail
on all points of the wind, ability to read the wind from flags and
ripples - to name a few areas.

Exhibit A
Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Description: A great class for students ready to take their dinghy sailing skills to the next level. You
will build on basic skills and work on improving boat handling, refining sail trim, skipper and crew
teamwork, and problem solving while afloat. Sailing a 14' RS Quest you will practice: rigging ,
docking, sail trim, sail controls, crew work 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 intracacy. Students are taught more
advanced techniques and maneuvers, learning how to rapidly stop their dinghies by standing up
and backwinding the main. Students are challenged to learn how to sail backward - a favorite skill,
as it rapidly increases a sailor's control over the boat and builds tremendous confidence. Instructors
cover right of way rules in much more depth, particularly for sailors. By now, students are familiar
with port and starboard, but they build upon that by learning that the leeward boat has right of way
over the windward boat, and that overtaking yacht must stay clear. Capsizing becomes more fun
when you're a more confident sailor, and instructors teach students how to do a "dry flip" escaping
getting wet. By now, though, our intermediate sailors have beent taught so well that there is little
chance of an accidental flip. Instructors build upon the student's knowledge of the buoys in the bay
and what purpose they all serve. They look more closely at current within the bay, how to spot
current lines, where it runs stronger and why. Sailors at this level begin to realize how "STEM"
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.

students are properly vetted for prior sailing experience before
participating in the class. There is no testing structure in place,
however instructors are constantly assessing each student's skill
and working with each student individually to advance their
knowledge. Our Sail Pass program does not currently offer a
spinnaker rating, so this class is the only opportunity for our
community boaters to fly a dinghy spinnaker.
12. Describe how this specific course advances boating safety education. In your answer, discuss course

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Description: This two -session advanced class is ideal for competent dinghy sailors interested in
learning how to fly the spinnaker aboard our 14'RS Quest dinghy. Through classroom instruction
and on -the -water practice you will learn how to prepare, set, trim gybe and drop the spinnaker.
The students who take this class should already have a good foundation in A — C. Instructors build
upon all aspects of safety by adding the complexities of successfully flying a spinnaker into the
sailing equation. Sailors must have good steering capability, wind knowledge and control of the boat
before attempting to set a spinnaker. This class builds upon all those skills, while emphasizing how
critical safety measures become with the added speed of a third sail. Students hone rapid decision -
making skills, as well as self -rescue techniques.

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 J/22 keelboats at Marina
Park. Instructors found it was too difficult to test some 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.

Exhibit A
to the next level and jump into an Intermediate or Advanced J/22 Keelboat class.
The popularity of the J/22 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 J/22. 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 J/22, 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.

or skills evaluation terms of what we expect from a student before they are
recommended to move on. This class is unique because it can be
taken at least a couple of times and, in fact, instructors often
recommend that students re -take this class before they move
along to Intermediate Keelboat. Students move at different paces
learning how to sail and some don't catch on as quickly as others.
Instructors will determine on the water if students have mastered
all the basics of sailing, watching as students sail on all points of
sail, looking for demonstration of critical knowledge, like wind
direction, docking, rigging, rules of the road, control of the boat and
steering. If a student does not have the basics down, the instructor
will recommend that they repeat this class.

Description: Learn to sail on beautiful Newport Harbor in this 14-hour class designed for those with
little to no sailing experience who want to learn how to sail on a larger more stable keelboat.
Through classroom instruction and on -the -water practice you will learn the fundamentals of how to
rig and safely sail a J/22 keelboat. Your instructor will be on -board with you to provide a more
hands-on experience. Sailing a J/22 keelboat you will learn boating safety, knots, rigging, sailing
theory, boat handling, docking, sail trim and crew overboard recovery.
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. 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.

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

Description: For students ready to take the next step after completing the Beginning Keelboat class.
In this class you will build on basic skills and learn the finer points of boat handling and sail theory
while learning to work as part of a team on the J/22. Sailing a J/22 Keelboat you will build
confidence rigging, docking, and learn sail trim, sail controls, crew work and communication and
anchoring.
Students come to the Intermediate Keelboat Sailing class from the outside as sailors with some
sailing experience, or they work their way through the City sailing classes to achieve participation in
this class. This class builds upon all the skills and knowledge students have learned previously,
really honing much more qualified boaters. Instructors delve much more deeply into specific
techniques and philosophies, teaching more advanced concepts of reading the wind, speed and
control of the boat, and overall safe boat handling. Students are encouraged to repeat classes,
because instructors work with each student individually, increasing each student's knowledge based
on their personal level of experience.

Description: For students with Intermediate sailing skills ready to explore sailing outside the harbor.
This class will focus on building sailing and seamanship skills as you sail down the harbor and enter
the Pacific Ocean. Skills will include advanced sail trim, wing n' wing, the jib using the spinnaker
pole, jury-rigging techniques, running aground, towing, anchoring, tide and currents, aids to
navigation and ocean sailing.
Weather permitting, these students venture into the ocean for lessons on outside
conditions, how to sail in waves, emergency options including anchoring, communication
and safety offshore. Spinnaker use is focused upon, giving experience flying the chute and
foredeck work. Students are taught how to safely and courteously navigate a bay that
might be crowded, especially when using a spinnaker. The overall goal of this class is to
add to the boating safety skillset of already independent sailors. This boating safety
knowledge will translate into any kind of boat, sail or power.

Description: This one -day class is perfect for any adult who wants to explore sailing with their child
in a relaxed and safe environment. Learn the basics of sailing on either a 14'dinghy or a small
keelboat, accompanied by an instructor who will guide you through safe sailing on Newport Harbor.
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 57 of 92
Exhibit A
Parent & Me continues to be one of the City's most popular sailing classes. Although the students in
this class do not proceed on to another class, it is a great class for conveying boating safety
information. It is an introductory class, and an opportunity for parents to learn to sail with their
children or to share their love of the sport with their kids. A comprehensive on -shore chalk talk gives
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
of the teaching is disguised by the fun of being on the water! The instructors teach to the level of the
children, so that they can understand, but provide more advanced information to the parents, so that
they leave the class having learned a lot as well. This class also sometimes incorporates paddling,
as three hours is a long time for children to concentrate. Hopping on to paddle equipment is fun and
allows a change of pace, while still teaching about boating safety. Students are given the
opportunity to try kayaking and/or Stand Up paddling. They are given comprehensive information on
proper technique and paddle grip, proper stance or seating, balance, wind and current, as well as
boating safety tips.

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

Description: This week-long summer camp is the perfect introduction for any children looking
to learn how to sail in beautiful Newport Harbor. Campers will learn to sail in a variety of
different sailboats, including 8' Sabots, 14' IRS Quests, and 22' J22s. Instructors will work with
campers to develop safe sailing skills and confidence, with the ultimate goal to have campers
sailing comfortably on their own. Campers will also explore Newport Harbor in kayaks and stand-
up paddleboards, weather permitting.
These camps are very popular during summer, as well as our after -school sailing classes (5-week
sessions, by quarter) throughout the year. The summer camps are week-long camps, morning
or afternoon, with a team of instructors who teach boating safety through fun to 6-16-year-
olds. Campers are taught according to their individual level of boating knowledge - from the
beginning to the more advanced, returning camper. Campers learn sailing fundamentals, boating
safety and how to paddleboard and kayak safely. Most importantly, students are taught respect for
the water and other boaters, the basics of boating safety, how to navigate Newport Harbor, wind
and current directions, rules of the road, and the importance of lifejackets. The City camps have
coached students from all over the world, not just locals, although we have plenty of those. Students
come from Saudi Arabia, China, Spain, France - and many of them return from year to year.
We let our campers come up with their list of rules at the beginning of camp and, invariably, they
all decide upon "safety" as the number one rule, closely followed by "fun." Under safety, the
children come up with wearing lifejackets, listening to instructors, respecting the environment
including the sea creatures, always being aware of surrounding boats, keeping clear of other boats
but waving in a friendly manner, being aware of weather and current conditions, and always wearing

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

Who is the target audience and how is boating safety improved by educating them?
If this is an intermediate or advanced course, how does it build on the skills learned in previous, less advanced
courses in the series, and how does this course improve boating safety?
Because Marina Park is a public facility and attracts tens of thousands of customers every
year, Sailing and Boating has a phenomenal opportunity to reach "non boaters" with a boating
safety message. Sailing and Boating offers paddle rentals for drop -in customers, no experience
necessary. While some customers plan to come to Marina Park to paddle, for others the decision is
spur of the moment. For many customers, this is their first paddling experience, with no other
boating experience. This introduction is the ideal time for City staff to provide boating safety
information, as well as to plant the seed for a love of future boating.
For every person who rents our single and double kayaks or a stand-up paddleboard, City
staff provides a comprehensive boating safety orientation that starts immediately upon the
customer's arrival, with a quiet assessment of the customer and their abilities. The City requires that
each paddler be at least six years of age and be a competent swimmer. It's surprising that there
are people who do not understand the importance of being able to swim while on the water.
Although California law requires the PFD to be on the equipment (for adults), the City requires every
paddler to wear a PFD.
Our staff selects an appropriate PFD for each customer and supervises each customer as
they secure the PFD to ensure that they are snugly fit. The staff explains to each customer that
the lifejacket needs to fit securely, or it will float over their head if they wind up in the water. We
also explain that, if we should need to pull them from the water, we would grab the shoulder handles
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02129/2024 Page: 63 of 92
Exhibit A
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 paddler paddles upwind first, so they
can determine if they're able to paddle against the wind. We make sure the customer knows
that paddling downwind is a breeze, so to speak. If there is a wind shift or if the wind is forecast to
build, we let the customer know, and we give them tips for staying out of the breeze or modified
paddling techniques, if the wind becomes a factor. We'll also cease paddling if the wind picks up
past the point of a comfortable paddle. Because of these precautions, we always have our paddlers
return, 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 take
depending on the day's weather, wind, tide and traffic conditions. Staff requests a return time from
customers, and we track departure and return times, as well as the party's specific information, as
part of the float plan. We know specifically when a paddler is due back, so we anticipate their arrival.
Once a customer is fitted in a lifejacket, staff will then fit the customer with a paddle. For the
SUP customer, we measure height, comfortable fit, and note that the paddles are carbon fiber,
requesting that they 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. All our
lifejackets have whistles attached for an emergency.
With any customers new to paddling, staff will hold on to the equipment while they practice
their strokes. Once a customer has demonstrated proficiency, we'll let go of the piece of equipment
and allow them to paddle within the swim line, until they show they have mastered directional
paddling. Providing this comprehensive boating safety information is a critical operational procedure
for any paddling customer. It allows the City to reach a broad audience of new boaters with a
comprehensive boating safety message.

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

During this past year at Marina Park, we have found the private lesson to be very popular. We offer
three-hour privates lessons for up to two -people at $250, with each additional student paying $25.
The lessons are offered in the J22 or in the IRS Quest. 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.
All safe boating topics in A — C are addressed during the class. 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
Contract # C8968327, City of Newport Beach, Aquatic Center Grant FY 2023-24, Date: 02/29/2024 Page: 66 of 92

own convenience, rather than having to wait for a regularly scheduled class. As instructors are
available, these private lessons are scheduled. The City plans to continue with them and increased
their numbers this past year.

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?
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.
Instructors will be trained in the comprehensive three-day US Sailing Adaptive Sailing Instructor
Workshop. The course will cover all the topics in Questions 9 A-C, general education, navigational
rules and aids, non -boating safety education elements and, of course, comprehensive vessel
operation and hands-on training. The US Sailing lessons will cover the 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 -
evolving techniques that teach people with disabilities how to approach boating in the safest manner
possible, according to their unique needs.
The course will be taught in the City's IRS Ventures as well as in the City -owned J22 keelboats.
One IRS Venture will be modified with adaptive equipment made by IRS, and instructors will learn
how to modify the remaining boats according to each disability.
In the initial year, the City hopes to reach at least 200 people through this programming and will
build upon the outreach in the ensuing years.

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