“Get Racing!” Seminar

If you ever dreamed of racing with the wind just like those guys in the Americas Cup, here is the opportunity of a lifetime to Get Racing! Presented by CYA licensed instructor, race official and active racer Dave Cramb of Race-Ready Performance Sailing (http://www.race-ready.com/), this seminar is free to JIBSET members. Please RSVP here or by email to jibset@jibset.org with your name and contact phone #. Free parking is available. Ask for directions in your RSVP and we’ll send you a map. Dave will introduce the rules, concepts and culture of sailboat racing and summarize the overall structure of sailboat races, the governing rules, upwind and downwind sail trim, crew work, tactics and strategies and the specifics necessary to become a crew, or, for those with more experience, a skipper on a racing boat. Open discussion will include information on upcoming regattas and opportunities for our members to crew on racing boats.
