We are going to demystify sailboat racing through this three-hour overview course.

This course is for everyone who is curious or ready to jump into sailboat racing.

This is a free course?
Yep! It's Free!

At Racing School you'll learn from our volunteer faculty who have years, and in most cases decades, of sailing experience.

The scope of the content covered includes:

• Pre-start
  
• Race Committee (flags and sounds)
• The Start
• Sailing Upwind
• Sailing Downwind
• Mark Roundings
• The Finish
• Protests

Racing is one of the best ways to practice and hone sailing skills. You use the same skills when racing you would use cruising around the Gulf Islands or sailing on the lake at your cabin.

What next after Racing School?

• Join the Crew list and use your new sailing skills on racing keelboats and dinghies.
• Come out to a social event... get to know other sailors. These are the skippers and crew on boats that will be part of your fleet. It's good to have a buddy in the Club.
• Come out after the racing on a Wednesday evening for a burger and a beverage (even if you didn't sail that evening). We all go to the Glenmore Sailing Club to enjoy a sunset over the lake.
• Take a sailing lesson with us - dinghy or keelboat.
