Baker League Team Qualifier, Sunday 4/19, WFC

http://hssailing.org/event/conditions/baker

Team Racing Format: Each team consisting of 3 boats will race every other team one at a time. With 6 teams, each team will therefore have 5 races bringing the total to 15 races overall to do one full rotation. Given the promising forecast, the regatta could accomplish two rotations in which each team races each other team twice. This is the normal format for a district and national event. If we start racing at 9:30 AM, the regatta could accomplish 30 races and you would sail 10 by 5 PM or sooner.

This clinic is designed for participants who have team raced before and have a basic understanding of team racing theory and techniques. They should be looking to learn the sophisticated strategies and high level execution required to be successful in collegiate team racing. This is not an introductory clinic.

This week's sailing schedule

Last week's regatta in Port Jefferson, a real endurance race.
