Description

This clinic will take place at the Sailing Pavilion in the classroom.  We will cover two topicis:

1) Nuances of jib and main trim for sloops between 25 and 50 feet long.  This talk will focus on how to fine-tune the sails for racing.  An understanding of basic points of sail is assumed, and these fundamentals are available in a snazzy, short, five part series here:

2) A practical introduction to navigation using marine charts.   No prior knowledge is assumed and the lecture would be beneficial for those working towards their Bluewater Crew rating or going on the Maine trip.

At the conclusion of the event, or perhaps during the second half, we will fire up the grille.  Please bring $10 so we can provide dinner.
