Informal Fun Racing at Sail Haven -   Sail Haven is having a Fun Fall Racing Series. We are organizing fun informal racing at Sail Haven on the follow days:

Racing Clinic: Wednesday, July 23, 6pm - 7pm. Discussion of what sailboat racing is, what the basic rules are, and basic strategies for racing. Lead by Joel Zackin. More here.

Summer Racing:  Wednesday Evenings at 5:30pm-7pm on 7/30, 8/6, 8/13, 8/20, 8/27, 9/3, & 9/10.

Please check the Calendar to confirm we are racing.

We will be racing Lasers, Sunfish and 420s. All are welcome to join in the fun, no racing experience is required. All participants will be asked to help in the Race Committee Boat, again no experience necessary. Scores may, or may not be recorded!

Racing is a great way to improve your sailing skills. Racing involves focus on the boats around you and the racecourse. Sailing the boat becomes more automatic, more second nature. Sailing with friends and against friends is fun. One may not win races, but moments of brilliance on the course or around the marks can be extremely satisfying.

We are looking for some folks with the Safe Boating Certificate (CT’s or any state’s) to drive the powerboat/Race Committee Boat (although, most of the time it will be anchored). If you would like to volunteer (and you can also participate in the racing if you like) email sailhaven@canaldock.org  and state what days you can help with the race committee boat.
