2014 Basic Sailboat Racing Seminar

[Christopher]

The 2014 Basic Sailboat Racing Seminar has been rescheduled to June 7th, prior to the 2nd Rum Race.

The seminar is open to all boat owners and crew that would like to learn the basics of yacht racing. The seminar begins at 10:30 at the GBCA office. There will be presentations covering the Racing Rules of Sailing, crew preparations Race Committee actions, Basic Racing Tactics and Strategy. Lunch will be served.

The classroom session will adjourn in time for crews and skippers to head out on the water to race in the second of GBCA's 2014 Rum Race Series.  We will match up skippers and crew with experienced volunteers to enhance the learning experience.  New boats will be given provisional ratings for the race.  

After the racing, we will return to the GBCA office for the Rum Race after-party with refreshments, stories and awards.

We are looking for volunteers to take 1-2 seminar participants with you on your boat; and volunteers to go with a new skipper on their boat.  We've had 45 participants in each of the past 2-3 seminars, so there will be plenty to go around.

Thanks
