2008 TEAM RACING PROGRAM

NYYC's 2008 Team Racing season is shaping up to be a terrific one with a solid schedule of 'home' events and a very busy 'away' calendar.  As always, our program is aimed at the full range of our membership: young members to masters, novice to expert.  The questionnaire to express your interest is now posted on the members side of the website on the Team Racing page.  Please feel free to contact Beth in the Sailing Office if you are interested in learning more about the program.   

  
2008 TEAM RACING CALENDAR 

Here is a summary of what you can look forward to:

Long Island Sound Summer Solstice Series
This series of weekday evening team racing in supplied boats at different clubs on Long Island Sound was expanded successfully over the past two years and will continue to offer many opportunities to participate for Club members in the Western Long Island Sound area.  Stay tuned for more details.

Team Racing Kick-Off Weekend - May 17-18
Team racing experience is NOT required!  This weekend is targeted at sailors with all levels of experience to come learn the basics of team racing or to sharpen skills, both in the classroom and on the water in the Club's new fleet of Sonars.  In addition, we will invite some of the Summer Solstice sailors from other clubs to participate and give everyone a taste of competition. 

NYYC's top team racers and teachers will be sharing their talents with participants and cover rules, tactics, boathandling tips and hands-on racing.  And, of course, there is a fun social schedule throughout the weekend.  Whether you know a lot or a little about team racing, this will be a great event to attend, so be sure to put this exciting weekend on your schedule!
