Henry Moore’s Sailing Education Pages

Welcome to my sailing education pages.  Let me introduce myself:  I am Henry Moore of Tampa, Florida and I am the Director of Education for the Davis Island Yacht Club.  I am responsible for educating our club members in the proper techniques of conducting sailboat races and in the Racing Rules of Sailing.

My philosophy in education is very simple:  I believe that learning is a life-long process.  This is true for both my students and my self.  My goal as a teacher is to provide an environment in which each individual can learn and develop.  As a teacher, I will strive to be on a journey of life-long learning through teaching.  I want an environment in which individuals can learn through modeling, inquiry, cooperative and independent work, and hands-on discovery.  People should always be pushed to use their imagination.  Different people learn in different ways, that is why I feel that it is important to integrate various ways of learning, incorporating the multiple intelligences.  I believe that people should enjoy learning and have fun while doing so.

In these pages, I hope to present two items:

O          A description of a one-day seminar, Race Management 101, that I will be offering on a periodic basis open to any one that is interested in serving on race committees.  This seminar will be for people with little or no experience in race management and would like to get their feet wet.  This seminar will be taught at Davis Island Yacht Club and the announcement of the course would be through the club’s Log, Southwinds Magazine, the US Sailing website, and mailings to other nearby yacht clubs and sailing organizations.  It would be a precursor to the US Sailing’s seminar, Basic Race Management, which is designed to educate potential certified race officers.

O          A brief description of the protest process.  I hope to demystify the protest process in order to reduce the intimidation aspect of either protesting or being protested.

On these pages, I will also be offering some links to various resources that should assist in these two pursuits.
