The Race Practice is new this summer, and tailored towards intermediate and experienced sailors.  It will meet every second week on Tuesdays (one Thursday) through mid-august and is designed to work on improving skills like tacking, gybing, down-speed maneuvers, judging laylines and startlines, speed, winging, mark roundings, etc.

This past week, we spent two hours on the water doing three drills, a mark-rounding drill, a tack on the whistle drill, and a downwind maneuver drill.  We had excellent weather for these topics, and the improvement from all 14 sailors was awesome, and really fun to see.  We will likely usually have a chance to work on some starting as well, and I expect that as people become more familiar with the practices, they will be more efficient, easier to run, and more effective to boot!
