Oakcliff Sailing Center: Fleet Racing with Coaching

Oakcliff and Sagamore YC are joining together to bring a new division to their already popular Wednesday Night Races. The Oakcliff Start. It will include drop marks for windward / leeward courses, short course to allow for multiple races per evening and most importantly coaching before, during and a debrief after the race. The Oakcliff start will be open to any Oakcliff supporter by signing up to sail our Shields or Match 40s or as a supporter you can BYOB (Bring Your Own Boat) and crew.

We listened to our supporters and staff (Vlad) and have created yet another pretty cool and unique event combining fun and learning. Begin with a pre brief at Oakcliff, race and learn on the water and then retire for a debrief and hospitality at the Sagamore YC bar. Throughout the season we will talk about pre-race preparation, starting, course management, boat handling, sail trim, strategy, tactics, crew training or in short, everything to do with sail boat racing.

 Put together your own team of supporters (each crew member should sign up independantly) or sign up individually and be a part of a pickup team for the night but please remember to bring your sunscreen, reusable water bottle, sunglasses (with a retaining strap) and a life jacket. If you don't own a life jacket, you may borrow one from Oakcliff.

All participants must read and adhere to the Oakcliff Sailing Center Safety Rules and Regulations.
