Oakcliff Two-Day Clinic, May 18-19: The May Clinegatta is unique in that the Oakcliff Sailing Center is providing two days of expert instruction and intensive training. The opportunity to train and race in the Swedish Match 40s for two days, with organized drills, immediate feedback and video debrief sessions following the training will raise the level of the racing immensely. Often teams are peaking just as the Round Robins are ending. In this event, teams will be ready to go in Race 1, and will only get stronger from there. Don't miss this opportunity to fine-tune your game. (Cost is $100 per person for those registering for clinic only.)
