Iceboat Racing Clinic at the Western Challenge
Ron Sherry will lead a racing clinic at the Western Challenge on Friday morning. This early-season gathering is the first chance for DN sailors to get on the ice each year, held on the best ice in Minnesota. The location is announced as conditions develop, so sailors are encouraged to follow the Minnesota Iceboaters Facebook group for updates.
The clinic will cover the essential skills that make a difference on the racecourse:
Topics:
- Preparing physically
- Racing clothes
- Pit courtesy
- Checking ice
- Checking the course
- Starting
- Weather-mark rounding
- Leeward-mark rounding
- Laylines
- Finishing
- Wind shifts
- Basic rules
The session is open to all sailors. New racers and experienced competitors are welcome. Bring your questions and be ready to apply these fundamentals on the ice.
