Home  News  Applications Open for the 2024 Youth Match Racing Championship for the Rose Cup

Applications Open for the 2024 Youth Match Racing Championship for the Rose Cup

The Rose Cup is an invitational event open to sailors who have reached their 16th birthday but not their 21st birthday during the calendar year in which the event is held (i.e., must be born between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008). The Championship features world-class coaching and serves as an outstanding training ground for young sailors who are passionate about match racing and focused on competing at the next level.

“We are very pleased to see the competitive group of applicants we have received to date and welcome additional applications for everyone interested,” said Ryan Davidson, USYMRC Committee Chair. “This years event at Corinthian Yacht Club is not one you will want to miss!”

Applications submitted by April 1 will receive preference. Request an invitation here:  https://form.jotform.com/240095124431143 . Competitors are asked to provide their top three match and fleet racing accomplishments over the past three years, and to write briefly about their experience racing on a 3-4 person keelboat.

Teams consist of crews of four, with at least one male and one female and a maximum crew weight of 660 pounds. Teams may be composed of members from different yacht clubs or sailing associations.

The Rose Cup started as an invitational youth match racing event in 2010. It was founded by members of Balboa Yacht Club in Newport Beach, California, and the Newport-Balboa Sailing & Seamanship Association. Its mission is to assist in the promotion of youth match racing in the United States and improve the quality of US competitors in national and international competition.

Thanks primarily to the efforts of US Sailing Match Racing Committee Vice-Chair and five-time US Match Racing Champion, Dave Perry, US Sailing made the event one of its three match racing championships, and it officially became the U.S. Youth Match Racing Championship in 2015.

How safe is Moscow for tourists?

Moscow is an enormous city. 12 million people live here and many others commute in from the Moscow Region for work each day. And although there is no particular danger for either tourists or locals, it is, as in any big city, always worth using common sense. We'll tell you how to avoid running into trouble and which areas you might want to avoid.

Is the city center safe?

“I was shocked to see people using their laptops in parks in the evening,” says Nicholas Font from Argentina, who visited Moscow in May. “Of course, I was careful with my belongings, but I wasn't afraid of wearing my bag in the city center.”

The city center (and it is a very big city center) is generally convenient and safe for walking around. Pedestrians enjoy wide sidewalks and relatively calm road traffic. There are tourist police (who speak English), not to mention the ordinary police. Of course, there is never any guarantee that you won’t encounter a thief, and so to stay on the safe side keep your documents and money in places that are inaccessible to others. Red Square, Nikolskaya Street and Arbat are the most touristy places, so it’s worth being a little more aware of pickpockets in these areas.

Remember that in Moscow the police can stop you to check your ID. But unless you have committed some kind of crime there is generally nothing to worry about: You just need to show your passport and visa. "I was asked to show my passport and visa three times. Once in St. Petersburg and twice in Moscow," says our reader Ghazali Khan from Dubai. "Police in Russia are polite and professional. Most of them don’t speak English, but they understand your gestures."

Can you walk around at night?

Have you heard the expression "Moscow never sleeps?" Well, this is very true. The city center is buzzing 24 hours a day, and even on the outskirts you are likely to see people out and about even late at night. On a Friday or Saturday night there are likely to be even more people out on the streets than in the daytime. Of course, when it is minus 20 degrees Celsius in the winter, it isn’t as much fun as in the summer, but the only time Moscow really feels deserted is on the morning of Jan. 1 . 

According to a recent poll conducted by The Economist , Moscow came in at 37 out of 60 big cities around the world in its Safe City Index. (Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka were at the top of the list). In other words, the Russian capital is pretty much average when it comes to safety.

Is it safe to go to the suburbs?

As a general rule, the police record more crimes in the city center than elsewhere. For instance, 2,846 crimes—mainly robberies and muggings—were recorded in 2018 in the Presnensky District between Arbat and Moscow City.  

At the same time, over the past year these numbers have gone down by 20 percent, according to the prosecutor's office. 

The city suburbs, with the exceptions of the Maryino and Perovo districts, are generally regarded as quite safe. So if you have a desire to see how ordinary Muscovites live, don't hesitate to hop on the metro and ride out to Vladykino, for example. Just work out your route in advance as you might not run into many people who speak English out there.

What about public transport and taxis?

When Russia hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2018, there were many stories of unscrupulous taxi drivers charging tourists astronomical amounts, sometimes as high as a thousand dollars, for a trip from the airport to the center. In order to avoid such unpleasant surprises, avoid airport taxis altogether and instead download Uber or Yandex Taxi on your phone and then pay by card rather than with cash. You will see the cost of the journey at the time of booking, and this won't change when you arrive at your destination. And if you have a strong desire to leave a tip, you can do so online. For your information, the cost of a journey from the airport to the city shouldn’t cost more than $30 (unless you order a luxury car, of course). While you can also find official taxis at the airport, these will be significantly more expensive than ordering one off Yandex Taxi or Uber.

Travelling around the city by metro, bus or trolleybus is generally quite convenient. The Moscow metro is one of the most reliable and safe (not to mention beautiful) underground transport systems in the world. The trains are new and run at short intervals. CCTVs are everywhere in the metro, and there are police at every station. Gabriel Infante Carrillo from Mexico City says that while riding the Moscow metro he had to put his backpack through an X-ray machine, but that the official was very polite with him. "I was not surprised at all, I knew beforehand that this could happen due to security reasons," he said. 

Aboveground transport by and large uses specially allocated lanes, and while waiting you can pass the time at "smart" bus stops that have Wi-Fi, electric sockets and an electronic bus schedule in Latin script.

Can young women travel alone in Moscow?

It is generally rare for anyone in Moscow to pester women in the street or catcall them, especially if they see that she is a foreign tourist. Russian men are usually restrained and, even if they like a girl VERY MUCH, it is usually sufficient to politely decline their advances. So Moscow is a perfectly safe city solo women.

Happy Boaters

We had the best boating experience!!! Kevin was so helpful and great to work with!! He went above and beyond expectations. He took us to the sandbar to search for sand dollars!! We also saw two dolphins � in the intercostal. One of the best days ever!!

Colleen Stephenson Rettinger

I couldn’t have been more lucky to be out on the water learning and experiencing sailing, power boating, rules of the water, and knots with such a great instructor. Kevin is very knowledgable and calm on the water. If you haven’t been on the water this would be the best way to start. Kevin has great people to help him out when needed. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. These courses gave me the confidence and skills to take my boat out.

Nothing but wonderful things to say about Kevin and his courses! Even though I have grown up on the water, he has taught me so many new things and given me the confidence to one-day soon own a boat of my own.

Jennifer Odell Hill

If you’re looking for the best instruction on how to sail or operate a power boat, Kevin is your guy. Through his relaxed and calm demeanor and detailed instruction, I gained the confidence I needed to dock a boat and change tack to dodge the ferries. He will practice with you until it becomes second nature.

Kevin and Chris were so fun! I would recommend sailing with them to anyone who is looking for a fun water activity! We will be back!

Courtney Kauffman

What an amazing experience. Awesome day, perfect lesson, and great memories. We will be back for sure!

95.16 - Animals on Campus

• Position: Public Safety and Security Executive Director
• Email: [email protected]

Last updated: May 25, 2022

A. Introduction. Persons bringing animals onto campus (“Handlers”) are expected to be mindful that their animals may constitute real or perceived health threats to others, which include but are not limited to allergies, falls, and bites.  In addition, the presence of an animal in an area may distract or interrupt certain activities, or may create a nuisance, including the nuisance caused by animal feces or damage to property.  Accordingly, all Handlers are required to exercise reasonable control over the animal at all times in order to minimize risks to others and property.  Handlers are responsible and liable for all damage or injury caused by the animal, whether to persons or property.

B. Purpose.   This procedure establishes the University’s compliance with local, state and federal laws regarding animals, including those regarding individuals with disabilities as well as dogs-in-training.

C. Application of State and Local Laws.   Idaho laws and Moscow city ordinances governing dogs and other animals are enforced on campus (see Moscow City Code Title 10, Chapter 5 Dogs and Other Animals ).  Such ordinances include, but are not limited to, licensing requirements, leash requirements, the prohibition of leaving a dog tethered to any object on University property, and the requirement that the Handler remove and clean up the animal’s feces from University property.

C-1. Animals in Outdoor Spaces.   Animals may be brought onto outdoor spaces on campus that are open to the public, except for university recreation fields if:

a. the animal is accompanied and appropriately restrained by a competent Handler at all times, and

b. the animal and the Handler are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. 

Service animals described in C-2.a below may accompany their handlers as needed pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Dogs in Training described in C-2.b below may be brought onto any outdoor locations that is open to the public subject to the requirements for identification and handling identified in C-2.b below. [rev. 4-18]

C-2. Animals Inside University Buildings. Animals not owned by the University are not permitted inside University buildings except as specifically permitted below:

a. Service Animals. By law, a service animal is a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability.  Handlers with disabilities may be accompanied by a service animal inside University buildings pursuant to the American with Disabilities Act, as amended.  Students and University guests wishing to bring a service animal into any University buildings should first obtain an approved accommodation from Center for Disability Access and Resources (“CDAR”), which office can be reached at (208) 885-6307. Residents of University Housing wishing to bring a service animal into University Housing should follow the process outlined in C-2.c for Assistance Animals.  Employees wishing to bring a service animal into any University buildings during work time should comply with the provisions of, and follow the process outlined in, section C-3. When it is not readily apparent, the University may ask the Handler whether the animal is required because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been trained to perform.  Handlers are solely responsible for the care and supervision of the service animal. Handlers seeking to bring miniature horses inside University buildings should first contact CDAR at (208) 885-6307 to request permission.  [ed. 6-15]

b. Dogs-in-Training.   By law, a dog-in-training means a dog being specifically trained to develop social, environmental and other skills needed for admission to a training school or other program for assistance dogs. Also by law, (i) the dog-in-training must wear some article that identifies it as a dog-in-training at all times, (ii) the Handler shall carry and upon request display an identification card issued by a recognized school for assistance dogs or organization which serves disabled persons, and (iii) the Handler is fully liable for any damages or injuries caused by the dog-in-training whether to persons or property.  Handlers may be accompanied by a dog-in-training pursuant to Idaho Code § 18-5812B and § 56-704A inside University buildings in locations that are open to the public. Locations that are open to the public means places on campus where members of the general public are invited to have unrestricted access, including common areas inside of University buildings.  Some examples of campus locations that are not considered open to the public include, but are not limited to, work areas, classrooms and University Housing. 

c. Assistance Animals.  By law, assistance animals includes service animals as well as untrained emotional support or therapy animals.  Residents of University Housing seeking to have an assistance animal in University Housing should contact CDAR at (208) 885-6307 to request a disability accommodation. Pursuant to the Fair Housing Act, a resident may keep an assistance animal in his dwelling unit as a reasonable accommodation if: (i) the resident has a disability, (ii) the animal is necessary to afford the resident with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the dwelling, and (iii) there is an identifiable relationship or nexus between the disability and the assistance the animal provides.  When it is not readily apparent, CDAR will verify the existence of the disability and the need for the accommodation by requiring that the resident provide documentation from a physician, psychiatrist, social worker, or other mental health professional that the animal provides support that alleviates at least one of the identified symptoms or effects of an existing disability.

d. Any Other Animals.  Any other animals that do not fall under the definitions described above in C-2.a, C-2.b, or C-2.c are not permitted inside University buildings without prior approval by the Executive Director of Public Safety and Security.  Residents of University Housing should consult the University Housing Office regarding other animals that may be approved exclusively within University Housing. [ed. 6-15]

C-3. University Employees.

a. University employees requiring the assistance of a service animal for a disability must obtain an approved reasonable accommodation by Human Resources (“HR”) before bringing the service animal into work areas or otherwise having it during the employee’s work time on University premises.  Employees should contact HR at (208) 885-3638 or refer to  http://www.uidaho.edu/human-resources/employees/Request-an-Accommodation  for more information. 

b. University employees not requiring the assistance of a service animal for a disability may not bring any animals (including dogs-in-training) into work areas or otherwise have them during work time on University premises.

c. University employees who are required to reside on University premises may have animals that are not owned by the University on University premises with prior written approval from the Executive Director of Public Safety and Security

C-4. Removal of Animals.

a. Service Animals. The University may ask the Handler to remove a service animal from the campus if (i) the Handler is not complying with applicable laws, (ii) the service animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others or its presence fundamentally alters the nature of a program or activity, (iii) the Handler cannot effectively control the service animal, or (iv) the service animal is not housebroken.

b. Dog-in-Training.   The University may ask the Handler to remove a dog-in-training from the campus if (i) the Handler is not complying with applicable laws or with this procedure, (ii) the dog-in-training poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, (iii) the Handler cannot maintain control of the dog-in-training, or (iv) the dog-in-training is poorly groomed so as to create a health hazard.

c. Assistance Animals.   The University may ask the Handler to remove an assistance animal from University Housing if (i) the Handler is not complying with applicable laws or with this procedure, (ii) the assistance animal poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others, (iii) the assistance animal would cause substantial physical damage to the property of others, unless the threat can be eliminated or significantly reduced by a reasonable accommodation, (iv) the assistance animal would pose an undue financial and administrative burden, or (v) the assistance animal would fundamentally alter the nature of University Housing operations.

d. Any Other Animals.  The University may ask the Handler to remove any other animal from the campus if (i) the Handler is not complying with applicable laws or with this procedure, (ii) the animal poses a threat to the health or safety of others, (iii) the Handler cannot effectively control the animal, or (iv) if it is determined that the animal’s presence or behavior is disruptive to other members of the community or to activities occurring on campus.

C-5. Violations of this Procedure. Anyone observing any unauthorized animals on campus, any animal not appropriately restrained, or any other violations of this procedure should contact Campus Security at (208) 885-7054. Additionally, anyone observing violations of state or local laws should also contact the Moscow Police Department at (208) 882-2677. For emergencies, call 911 first.

C-6. Exempt Animals.   Animals used by any University employee in the conduct of any approved research, extension, or outreach activities are exempt from this policy.
