Advanced Sailboat Racing & Tactics
The five day Advanced
Racing course is designed for the experienced racer. The course is
taught aboard our identical
J80's with no more than four people plus
an instructor aboard each boat, so you get lots of personal
attention!
The course covers advanced sail trim
and boat handling, attacking and defending on the start line,
powering and depowering the sail plan, mark roundings, advanced
spinnaker skills (including both the symmetric and asymmetric
spinnakers), tactics and strategy around the race course, practical
application of the racing rules, and elements of efficient team work. The week
of
training culminates on Friday with competition in the J World Friday
Regatta.

Each day begins with an
hour long lecture, then moves onto the water for real world
experience. Each team is comprised of no more than four
students, and a coach is aboard at all times. These courses
present an incredible opportunity to sharpen your skills under the
watchful eye of a top tier coach. From helming techniques to
onboard communication, from rig tune to the ultimate spinnaker
takedown, you will get real world experience to send you home a
better, faster sailor!
Advanced Sailboat Racing & Tactics Course Requirements
The ability to sail a small boat on your own with confidence and a
thorough understanding of skills such as those covered in
Learn To
Sail. This course is also appropriate for those with some racing
background, but with limited time on the helm while racing; or those
with cruising backgrounds looking to transition to racing. This is a
great class to hone your boat handling skills!
