Debut of the new Fleet!
Be with the first sailors to practice on the new J/7 sailboats and get ready for a season of great sailing and racing. We will host two “Clingattas,” one for nonspinnaker sailing and a second one the next day for spinnaker sailing. The Clingatta starts with a 1 p.m. dockside briefing by Brad Read, Kim Hapgood, and guest coaches. After the debrief, we will run an organized practice with coaching of race starts, mark roundings and short windward/leeward legs to familiarize you with how the boats handle. After practice, return to our 11th Hour Great Room for a debrief with refreshments and drone footage.
