Learn to Race This Saturday

Kirk Marcolina

Here’s your chance. Learn to Race (LTR) begins again this Saturday Sept 1st at ‘the world’s best Laser club’.  LTR is for prospective new members – a ‘try before you buy’ arrangement.  Additionally, it’s for mid fleet club members wanting to improve their Laser sailing. Come along if you want to learn more about Laser boat handling, balance, boat posture, trim, starts, tacks, gybes, boat set-up and any other race management fundamentals.

We hold this training on the first & third Saturday of each month during the season (1st week of Sept - 3rd week of April).  As people organising LTR will be away on September 15, the following LTR will be Oct 6.  

Start time: meet at 9am at DBSC, on the water by 10.15am, return to club by 12.15pm approx. If the day is unpleasant (i.e. too much wind, storms etc) we’ll have a whiteboard talk about sailboat racing.

Please email Martin White at mwhite@umco.com.au if you would like to attend LTR this Saturday. Also, if you need to hire a club boat ($30 per hire), please let Martin know and fill out the hire form here
