Dockwalkers Program

For more information please go to the California Coastal Commission Dockwalkers page.

The California Department of Boating and Waterways and the California Coastal Commission’s Boating Clean & Green Program in partnership with the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation will conduct more Dockwalker trainings this year.

Dockwalkers Training

Dockwalkers will be trained to engage members of the public and the boating community in adopting clean boating practices. Once training is complete, these volunteers don their official “Dockwalker” hats.  Dockwalkers educate boaters about clean boating practices and distribute educational materials (boater kits) while visiting marinas, launch ramps, marine supply stores, boat shows and special events (regattas, opening days, among others); and while conducting vessel examinations.

Principal Race Officer Seminar

PRO Seminar Offered By CYC

California Yacht Club is hosting a PRO Seminar on Wednesday February 3rd at 7 PM.  Senior Race Officer Bill Stump and Commodore Tom O’Conor will share their insights into running a first-class event, including the use of Marina del Rey Course Chart #16.

The seminar will be valuable for anyone at your club who will be running races this year and for your more experienced race committee members who might soon be doing so.  A question and answer period will allow discussion of unique problems you may have encountered and creative ways to handle multi-fleet regattas.

Please let me know if you (and others from your club) would like to join us.
