Wednesday Night Seminars

STuma · February 02, 2011, 09:16:34 AM

Location: Cabo
Time: 7 pm

Tonight is the kick-off Meet~n~Greet for the Wednesday Night Seminars. We encourage everyone to attend and find out what has been going on during the winter; incase you haven't been celebrating Xavier's birthday every Wednesday night @ the Cafe.

Here is an overview of the topics suggested: Overcoming obstacles, RRS part 2, starting techniques, racing on Clear Lake (2 parts), aerodynamic/hydrodynamic relationships, Question and Answer session (possibly 2 parts), boat preparation, tactics, strategy, weather, sportsmanship, match racing, Good/Bad tactacians & planning a successful campaign.

Obviously not all of these topics can be discussed, but a group of willing individuals have agreed to speak on a number of these topics. We will have a narrowed down listing with a rough schedule at Cabo tonight, 7 pm.

We had a great discussion from Vince Morvillo and learned some great aspects of Team Building. Thanks Vince and everyone that braved the cold and ice.

A reminder that CLRA Seminar #2 is tonight 2/16 at Cabo's 7pm.
Farley is a good speaker.

If you want to learn more about sailboat racing and meet some of the Wednesday Night regulars (who might need crew this season) this would be a great place to start. Free!

To clairify, if you missed "Part 1" don't worry, there wasn't a "Part 1".
Tonight Farley will be reviewing a section of the racing rules of sailing called "Part 2"

I hope everyone brings their questions for Farley!!!
