One of the purposes of this program is to develop a cadre of members who can serve as skippers for PSC social sails on the river.
a. For the PSC River Social Sail qualification level, the member must:
i. be certified as a PSC River Basic Keelboat Skipper;
ii. have completed a State/ District of Columbia approved Boating Safety class;
iii. have completed three sails on PSC river boats in the past two years after being certified as a PSC River Basic Keelboat Skipper ,
iv. sail aboard a PSC river boat at least one time each season prior to sailing as Skipper for a Social Sail.
b. The member requesting this certification shall submit a sailing resume to the TC.
c. The TC shall examine the resume to determine if the member has the qualifications set forth above, and shall also consider recency of experience, sailing time on PSC owned boats on the Potomac and Anacostia rivers and other factors as determined by the TC or designee(s).
d. The TC shall then either certify the member as a PSC River Social Sail Skipper or if in the TC’s opinion the member needs more experience or training, provide recommendations to the member seeking this qualification so they can obtain the additional experience to serve as a PSC Social Sail Skipper.
e. The TC may delegate authority to receive, review and approve the certification as PSC River Social Sail Skipper to designee(s).
