Have you ever wished for a slower, more controlled environment to try out racing? Join us for the second of three Friday night sessions May 20, 27, June 3. It’s a ball!
Open to all keelboats; non-competitive environment; briefing and on-water coaching; multiple relaxed practice starts; no race registration necessary.The Fleet Committee is once again offering racing practice for anyone who wants to practice in a non-competitive environment on three Friday evenings in May and June.
Who:
Open to all boats (BYOBoat).
What:
Three practice sessions, in which a short race course will be set up featuring multiple starts. These are not races.
Why:
To provide a non-competitive environment more conducive to learning:
- to give anyone interested racing a chance to take their boat and crew around a race course
- to allow existing racers and crews to tune up their skills, try new ideas at the beginning of the season.
When:
Friday evenings May 20, 27 and June 03.
Boats may participate in any of the sessions, or all three.
Where:
The Skippers’ briefing will be held in the Harbourview room. The practice race course will be set up on Charlie course, between NSC and BYC.
How:
Each practice session starts with a skipper’s briefing at 17:30 which will provide an overview of the course, and advice on how to get round it. The first practice start will be at 18:30. Guidance will be provided from a coach boat. The detailed Sailing Instructions are here.

Please e-mail the event coordinator, Mike Roper for more information, and to let him know if you are planning to attend.
