FREE SEMINAR...

Have you ever wondered why some people can run away upwind, why you get smoked on a reach, or how "Bob" can sail deeper and faster downwind?

It is the boat, the driving, the sails, or sail trim?

Now that we've learned that pulling the strings keeps the floppy things under control and they make the boat move forward.  Ever noticed how sometimes you are healed over much more than everyone else, but they are going faster? Ever thought a reach is just a parade and everyone goes the same speed, except those couple people that are minutes ahead of you?

Everyone is welcome to Villa Capri on Clear Lake tonight at 6:15pm to get an insight into some of the aspects of sail trim: benefit of moving Genoa lead cars, adjusting sheet tension & vang pressure, and the benefit of that pesky outhaul...
cheers...
