2-Day Today

Read the items below and make sure you have thoughts/questions about the ones relevant to you. We will go to the marina today regardless of wind. If there is any wind we will sail and likely practice light air sail trim. Remember also that while we are focused on Level-2 today, don’t forget to continue to work on Level-1…always.

Extra crews will swap into boats 1-6 halfway through practice to get time with our top skippers. Make use of it.

If there is NO wind, we will rig up an FJ and a 420 and go over sail trim on land. We will also check every boat and begin to finalize a list of what’s wrong with which boat, etc., and make sure sail bags are with the correct sails, etc. We will also build 4 new marks.
