Title: Wednesday Night Seminars
Post by: STuma on 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.

Tomorrow night will start off with Vince Morvillo speaking about overcoming struggles and challenges through sailboat racing and life.

Seminar starts @ 7 pm at Cabo on the Water, 2513 NASA Parkway, previously known as Club Classic.

I have also made a posting on the Clear Lake Racing Association Facebook page; http://www.facebook.com/clearlakeracingassociation#!/

Postings on the website are in progress...

*bump*

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"
