THIS APRIL 20-21 EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. However, see another Oakcliff event on April 26-27 at this link.
Held at Oakcliff Sailing Center, Oyster Bay NY
This clinic is an immersive dive into keelboat racing for every level of youth sailor. It will be the fastest way to get out on the water and race in a grand prix format. With Oakcliff's fleet of eight Match 40 race boats, teams of 5-6 will learn what it takes to race as a team on a 40ft racing boat.
Partnered with the JSA of LIS, Oakcliff will host and provide housing, food, coaching, and of course the racing boats. We will spend the first day working on boat handling and boat speed, followed by a team BBQ. On day two we will incorporate and build on existing fleet racing knowledge and return to the water for a full day of racing.
Youth sailors can arrive by 0800 on Saturday or after 1700 on Friday, April 19, and stay in the Oakcliff Bunkhouse for free. Both nights are included in the admission fee of $450 per person.
