SUMMARY:Performance Sailing 3-Day
DESCRIPTION:The Performance Sailing 3-Day course is designed to provide more detail on how to shape and trim sails to make a sailboat sail efficiently and faster.  This class will concentrate on boat handling under sail to include refining how to shape the sails for light\, moderate and heavy wind using various sail controls that are standard on a J80 sailboat.  You will also get introduced to flying an Asymmetric spinnaker during this class. \nPrerequisites? \nThe course is appropriate for any graduate of the Basic Keelboat certification course or any sailor who has had no formal sailing education but has at least a few years of sailing experience on keelboats. \nWhat will I learn? \nFiner points of shaping of sails for various wind conditions and how to make a sailboat go fast!  You will learn about terms such as Angle of Attack\, Draft and Twist and how various controls on the boat shape your sails for efficient sailing in any wind.  You will also learn about True and Apparent wind and how to read telltales on the sails to keep your boat sailing as efficiently as possible. \nYou will also learn more advanced skills such as reading a Polar Diagram for a J80\, how to sail the fastest and most efficient course using Velocity Made Good (VMG) and Target Boat Speed for sailing both upwind and downwind.  You will learn techniques on how to “shift gears” on a sailboat to get the boat moving in first gear\, sail fast in second gear and point closer to the wind in third gear.  You will also spend time learning how to make a sailboat sail faster downwind flying an Asymmetric Spinnaker. \nHow will I spend my time? \nThis 3-day class runs from 9:00am until 4:00pm each day.  You will spend approximately 1 hour each day in a classroom or dockside discussion and the rest of the time will be spent on the water on our J80 sport keelboat learning and practicing the skills taught during the classroom sessions. \nHow do I register? \nCall 410-280-2040 and talk to our in-house staff to get scheduled into a class. \nWhat should I bring? \nComfortable weather appropriate clothing\, athletic shoes\, hat\, sunglasses and plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. \nPrice:  $895 \n
