The best way to improve your sailing or prepare for racing is to run short, timed courses. And, practice, practice, practice! The first Wednesday of each month (April - October) is another chance for OCSC members to race the clock through a challenging set of maneuvers.
You just call ahead to charter a boat (be sure to mention Timed Circuit Racing when you book!), assemble a crew, and then get fired up to race. We'll have a race course set up with a committee boat to start you, take your times and offer suggestions for improvement. Rotate your crew and see if your times improve. Or, challenge another boat to beat your best performance. We'll have a pre-race briefing beforehand and a full debrief back at the club afterward -- with drinks and a free BBQ -- to talk about techniques and strategy.
