The TGIF Racing Training Clinic is meant to be a fun evening to encourage sailors to take guests or fellow members out sailing without the stress of competitive racing. Our TGIF event offers a calm, safe, non-shouting environment on board so you can enjoy the experience of sailing in a fleet while learning sail trim techniques, helming and tactics.
Our goals:
- To foster skill development for ALL sailing levels
- To provide a “no-intimidation” atmosphere for novice racers
- To help novice sailors adopt and grow our sport.
It is not necessary to be a skilled sailor to join us in this event or even know how to race. The objective is to help sailors and crew develop their skills so that they feel equipped and comfortable taking part in our other club races.
A different course will be sailed each week using SLVYRA buoys.
