    Sailboat Racing 101:  A Classroom & On-the-Water

     Seminar


    This one-day seminar is open to sailors who have completed the 2023 LCYC Sailing School (SS) course, alumni from past SS courses, and members of the LCYC.  If you do not meet the preceding enrollment criteria, please submit a sailing resume to Bruce Santerre, bsanterre@charter.net.  An enrollment decision will be made based on your sailing experience. Enrollment will be capped at 16 students. 

    The purpose of this seminar is to introduce sailors to the racing basics and fundamentals.  In the morning classroom session, students will review sailing safety and learn the sailboat racing rules.  During on-the-water training, students will practice basic sailboat and sail handling skills on a keelboat with an experienced race skipper.  Students will be able to apply the skills and knowledge learned through the sailing school and classroom session during practice starts and an actual race.

    The Commodores Cup will be held this coming Saturday and we are going to be changing it up for this race. We are introducing the 'Crew Scramble'! This is only applicable for the upcoming race.

    Any skippers wanting to race are welcome to sign up! Beginner racers strongly encouraged to sign up. We do not need pre-registration but we will need the number of crew you would like to have for the race. Skippers will stay with their boat. Alternatively skippers may request to crew if they would like to race on a different boat. 

    Calling all sailors - are you new to racing? Are you an experienced racer? Anyone interested in racing. Sign up to have your name added to the crew scramble. We will draw names and assign people to a boat on the day of the race. Pre-registration not required. 

    This crew scramble is intended for all of us to learn from one another, get on a different sailboat, teach each other tips and tricks for racing and trimming sails and just to interact with people aside from your usual, and most of all have fun in the Commodores Cup!

    *Skippers may request to keep specific crew if they are very new to sailing.

    Please contact Ken Ewald if there are any questions. 

    There will be Skipper's meeting at 11am to register and get instructions on the course.  The Race will start at 1:00pm.

    A social hour and awards "ceremony" will be just prior to Rib Fest, approx. 5pm on the deck.

    Hope you all can join in the Labor Day weekend fun!!
