While many other racing seminars review the Racing Rules of Sailing, our five day
seminar incorporates strategy & tactics, performance sail trim, and actual fleet
racing. Our seminars use multi-media presentations on the racing rules, and a lot
of discussion on how to make the boat go faster through boat handling and crew
communications. The topics for each session are listed in the following table.
Students can pick & choose which sessions to attend.
