Sailing Collegiate Dinghies Clinic at Harvard Because of the tremendous response this spring from sailors wishing to attend the clinic, I have expanded the clinic to include more sailors and another coach. As a result there are slots available. Greg Wilkinson will help me coach the clinic. He is the coach of the highly ranked Boston College Sailing team. The Eagles won the Team Racing and Women's Championships and placed 2nd in the Coed Dinghy Championship in 2008. Program: Three-day clinic intended for high school and college sailors who wish to learn collegiate sailing techniques and practice like one of the top college sailing teams in the country. It will be a great opportunity for sailing teams that need a little extra coaching boost to get some additional instruction. All aspects of sailing the Collegiate FJ and 420 will be covered. Specific topics will include straight-line speed, tacking, gybing, and boat handling for starting. Sailors will use the drills and copy the techniques that helped the Harvard Sailing Team win 5 straight Fowle Trophies as ICSA Team of the Year. Please note, strategies and tactics may be covered in the clinic, however the focus will be on sailing the boats well. Sailing will take place in Harvard’s fleet of FJs and 420s. Location: Harvard Sailing Center, Cambridge, MA Dates: April 21 (Tuesday) – April 23 (Thursday), 2009 Times: 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Cost: $175.00 per sailor Registration and Information Forms: at http://www.massbayleague.org/ or request via email to [email protected] Deadline: April 1, 2009.
