RaceNOW! One-Design & Match Racing Clinic - Session 2

Fun racing in classic wooden boats! The RaceNOW! Clinic is an opportunity for intermediate sailors to learn the fundamentals of sailboat racing, including America’s Cup style match racing. Each day begins with a short classroom session where you will learn racing strategy and tactics and the basics of the racing rules. You also will work on performance boat handling: how to sail fast upwind and down, execute crisp tacks and jibes and trim your sails for speed. The afternoon session starts with boat handling drills, practice race starts and individual chase-boat coaching for each team. Students will sail multiple short-course buoy races, with everyone trading off skippering and crewing responsibilities for each race. We will stop to discuss the races and how to sail fast and win. The clinic includes a course manual. This program is very popular, so register early to ensure your spot. Prerequisites: CWB checkout or equivalent.
