SMSA Parents, Sailors, and Coaches:
We're hosting a late August SMART training session in Hyannis at Hyannis Yacht Club. This should be an excellent opportunity for exposure to some excellent coaching: I'm hoping to add Skip Whyte to our coaching roster for this event. Skip has many years of coaching the best sailors in the United States, including the US Olympic 470 team and LISOT's 420 Program. We'll need 7 boats minimum to add Skip, so please try to get your boat there for the weekend.
The focus for this weekend will be tuning and technique for speed, though we'll actually devote a little more focus to starting drills than we have in the past; this has been a consistent area for improvement.
The schedule for the weekend is:
Saturday 8/29
8:00 AM Report Time
9:00 AM Rigged and Ready for team meeting
9:45 AM On the Water
12:00 PM Lunch on the Water
5:00 PM Pick Up.
Sunday 8/30
8:00 AM Report Time
8:45 AM Team Meeting
12:00 PM Lunch on the Water
4:30 PM Team meeting and Pack-Up
The fee will be $200 per boat.
If you are interested in sailing, please email me to sign up for the clinic. It should be an excellent one, and a good way to transition toward the major national scale events this winter.
Thanks, and hope to see you there!
