Race Clinic
The Race Clinic Program is designed with race team members in mind, as well as promising new sailors from
the Advanced Summer Sailing classes. Students will be split into two groups: Level 1 (Sabots), and Level 2
(Lasers, Laser Radials, and CFJ's). Participation in the Race Clinic classes will be solely at the
discretion of the Summer Sailing staff, and will be based on ability, involvement, attitude, and ranking.
Level 1
Classes will be held from 1:30pm - 5:00pm. The first half hour of every class will be designated for rigging and preparation, and students will be expected to be READY TO SAIL @ 2:00pm. Program will be spent almost entirely in sabots, emphasizing advanced boat-handling, boat-speed, and racing for sabot sailors.
Level 2
Classes will be held from 1:00pm - 5:00pm. The first half hour of every class will be designated for rigging and preparation, and students will be expected to be READY TO SAIL @ 1:30pm. Participation in the level 2 program will be at the discretion of the Coach unless a student is already an active participant in the given classes. One must weigh a minimum 130 Lbs. and provide their own boat to participate in the Laser classes. Emphasis in weeks 1 and 3 will be placed strongly on, but not limited to, basic skills and training for the given class of boat. Weeks 2, 4, and 5 will build upon these skills and focus more on advanced boat-handling, boat-speed, and racing tactics.
