Hey guys, here's an update on the Yacht Racing 101 Seminar…
Session 1, “Your First Race” was held a little over a week ago and seemed to be a success. We had about twenty people show up; received plenty of positive feedback; and most importantly, added several several new racers to the fleet.
I expect more people this coming Saturday, since Session 2, Upping Your Game: is geared more toward new and seasoned racers (skippers and crew) wanting to sail faster and move up the fleet.
San Pedro-Sat. March 2 @ 10.00-11.30: Upping Your Game
We’ll cover four broad subjects: Teamwork; Boat Handling; Boat Speed; and basic Tactics/Strategy.
- Team synergy is key to winning. We’ll lay out five ways to achieve it.
- We’ll discuss how to tack more efficiently, set faster, jibe safer, and how to properly round the bottom mark.
- We’ll detail driving and trim techniques for achieving max VMG as well as for Power, Speed, and Point modes.
- We’ll present some great tips for getting good starts every time.
- And finally, we’ll cover a few commonly encountered tactical situations.
Coffee and snacks will be provided by BucYC.
Hope to see you there.
An rsvp would be appreciated, but isn't necessary…
