Hi Sailors,
Our first Tuna Tune-up of the season is this Sunday 15 April in Clipper
Cove, Treasure Island. Frank Lawler will coach us to be fast, safe &
confident at race starts. He wrote some very informative text on
"strategies at starts", which can be found at our website
http://santana22.com/articles/Starts
Please take the time to read through the information.
The day will start at 11 with starts followed by a small windward-leeward
course. We'll do a number of these starts, break for a potluck lunch at TI
marina during which Frank will talk & give feedback, and then go out for
more starts to practice what we just learned. Finish around 4. "Tackful"
will be committee boat, please come within hailing distance before the
first start and monitor at VHF 68.
Starting procedure will be :
5 min warning
1 min warning
start
First warning will be at 11.
The second Tuna Tune-up will be held on the Alameda Estuary on Saturday 12
May, with a similar format, and followed by a BBQ. We'll send another email
out with more info closer to the date.
