Racing Clinics-
EYC Racing Clinics have been very successful this year. We have covered: starting, upwind sailing, laylines, and roll tacking. All adult and youth EYC sailors interested in racing or learning to race are invited to attend the remaining clinics.

The next racing clinic is on Thursday, July 26th at 4:00pm. This clinic will focus on mark roundings. The clinic will include a chalk-talk and discussion about mark rounding strategies and rules, as well as on the water drills. The clinic will conclude with the FJ Series and FS Fun Series races at 6:00pm.
