Seminar Series
Racing Tactics Tips and Tricks with Kame Richards
Thursday, February 2
7pm - 9pm Alameda
Please RSVP - 510-865-4700
Kame Richards, Owner/Operator of Pineapple Sails is no stranger to racing. He
has won the Rolex Big Boat Series on his Express 37, Golden Moon, for 4 of the
last 5 years and is a fierce competitor on the San Francisco Bay. He is a
respected racer/sailor and is widely known as a very entertaining and
knowledgeable spokesperson for the sport. We're excited to have him share his
know-how on racing tactics and we are looking forward to learning a lot and
laughing some too!
Topics will include:
Measure the competition- if you know how they think, they are easier to pass;
when someone tacks, ask yourself why; track their position, track the fleet
position
Wind shifts- what do they mean, who benefits; love the header, tolerate the
lift.
The starting line- which end is favored and why, should you try to start there?
The personality of the boats on the starting line. Time spent near/on the
starting line.
The first beat- which side of the course will be better? Does this affect where
you start? When to duck, when to tack.
Approach to the weather mark- from the front of the fleet; from the middle or
back of the fleet.
The run- Which side of the run is better? Inside overlaps at the leeward mark.
Clear air- is always in style.
The final beat- Maintain your position; improve your position; "covering" only
works on the boats behind you.
Cost:
Ultimate Members: FREE/ Members: $10/ NonMembers: $15
Complimentary beverages and snacks will be served.
Space is limited. Please call to reserve your seat.
