2018 Spinnaker Clinic - 11-5PM Apr. 14th
As part of our preparations for the 2018 racing season we will be running a clinic on Spinnaker handling on the J/22's. All racing teams, new and returning are encouraged to participate. Non-racing skippers and crew are welcome as well, but please be aware that this will be an advanced clinic. All sailors should have at minimum a technical understanding of upwind and downwind sailing and a familiarity with sail controls for de-powering.
We will start with a Chalk Talk at 11, followed immediately by a dockside demonstration on one of the J/22's. After a quick lunch break we will get out on the water to practice, probably wrapping up the day with a couple quick fun races.
After derigging the boats, we will finish the day with a debrief, followed by a happy hour at Little Havana.
Topics/areas of focus will include:
- Boat set up and rigging
- Breakdown of each boat member's role and responsibilities
- Sets
- Gybes
- Douses
- Trimming
- Downwind boathandling
**Lifejackets are Required**
NO EXCEPTIONS
Event will be $10.00 per person, with all proceeds going to the racing program for new racing equipment.
Event registration is limited to 10 boats (1 skipper and 3 crew per boat).
Sail Fast!!!
