Over the last two months the SMART classes for learning about sailing and racing have been a winner. They were well received buy many members form all fleets. We plan to do this again next winter. Below is a summary of the topics and you can access the presentations via the button.
#1 Introduction to racing & crew management, aimed at novice skippers, presented by Club Person of the Year 2024,Rod McKenna, plus Past Commodore Paul Jackson.
#2 Race Rules for new & experienced skippers, as well as those who think they don’t need to know, by Past Commodore Paul Pascoe.
#3 Race Starts & Mark Roundings by highly experienced sailor Phil Beddlington & 2024 Sailor of the Year Ken Christensen.
#4 Sail Trim & how to sail fast by Craig Cobbin, member of our RBYC Boating Office.
Huge thanks to the effort & wisdom from these presenters, and to the Social Committee for getting the sessions off the ground. We’ll keep running them next Off-Season.
