Strategy & Tactics, Sunday June 7, BCYC
OPEN TO ALL SAILORS! H20, PHRF, OTHER ONE DESIGNS…
While “Understanding the Racing Rules of Sailing” and “Boat Handling and Sail Trim” are essential topics to understand in order to be competitive, neither will teach you how and why a sailboat race is actually won. “Strategy” is a plan you make before the start as to how you would sail the course as fast as possible in the absence of other boats. “Tactics” is about boat-to-boat maneuvers that help you to sail to your strategic plan. Great for skipper and crew because two heads are better than one!

NHYC Twilights starts Thursday, May 7
What’s missing in this picture?
That’s right - NO MOORINGS!!! NHYC May Twilights starts Thursday, May 7. First warning at 6pm sharp. Since Harbor dredging is underway, this means that the NHYC morning field is completely empty. Forecast this week is westerly at 8-10kts. We’ll be setting courses in the wide open harbor. We’ve not seen sailing conditions this good in over a decade - don’t miss it! BTW, Harbor 20 Fleet 1 members will be running the Twilight races all this month. Please come out and support your fleet. Click here for the event page. John Drayton & Phil Thompson 949-633-8348
Rules Around the Race Course – Sunday, May 17, BCYC
Open to all sailors – H20, other one designs, PHRF, etc.
This is a HALF DAY interactive clinic focused on the parts of the racing rules that are most important for competitors to understand. Using white boards and magnetic boats, we will work through the scenarios that occur most often in any sailboat race – during the start, windward legs, the windward mark, leeward legs, the leeward mark, and the finish. Have questions about the rules, or situations you have been in? Come and get your questions answered! Great for skipper and crew because more heads are better than one.

2026 Education Schedule Update
We hope you have been taking advantage of the educational opportunities to improve your racing skills this year. Each of the events with the exception of one are all-day events. The three all-day seminars are followed shortly thereafter by a companion on-the-water clinic intended to let you put the knowledge you learned in the classroom into practice on the water with an experienced mentor aboard . While attendance of the seminars is not mandatory for attendance if the clinics, the best learning experience is enjoyed by attending both.
It is with regret that we have decided to cancel the clinic scheduled on April 4. The primary reason is that getting mentors for that event has proved very challenging because of all the team racing activity leading up to the Palmer Trophy and the Baldwin Cup. The secondary reason is that at this point only 4 people have registered – likely because it is also the day before Easter.
