The Clinic will be coached by five-time National Match Racing Champion Dave Perry, author of the North U Match Racing Playbook, and frequent coach of the best young U.S. match racers.

The clinic will cover the tactics and strategies needed to be competitive and successful in national and international Match Racing, and will focus on the boat handling and boat speed aspects of match racing a J/22 well.

Special attention will be given to discussing and practicing more advanced tactics and techniques such as using the spinnaker in the prestart, moves in the dial up, reverse circling, tactics at the windward mark due to the new rules, tactics downwind with no rule 17, and moves to get rid of a penalty.

Skippers invited will be responsible for bringing their own team of four (4) sailors (including skipper). There is no weight limit for this Clinic.

BOATS: The boats used will be J/22’s.
