Regatta Point Community Sailing is please to announce its Adult Racing Series for the 2009 season.

Safety, Fun, and Racing!

There is no better way to hone your sailing skill than racing. Racing involves boats sailing towards the same place. When one boat is sailing faster than the other, it is a great time to look and see how they are achieving their speed. Maybe the boat is sailing faster because they have their sail trimmed different or perhaps it's where their weight is placed in the boat. Whatever the case, everyone is certain to have a great time and learn tons about sailing. Participants who wish to skipper a boat must have their helmsman rating. Sailors without their helmsman are always welcome to join in as crew for other skippers. We always need crew. No racing experience is needed. There is a free racing clinic on Thursdays before the racing from 6:00-6:25. The clinic will cover the rules of the road and how they apply to racing, sailing around a racecourse, how a race starts and tactics of boat handling on a racecourse.

After a hard night of sailing, it's always a good idea to relax among friends with a cookout. Talk over the race, make a joke or just enjoy the food. All that we ask is $5 to cover the cost of the meal.
