LSC DINGHY PRO AM Event Saturday 7th May 15:00 and Race theory coaching 14:00

Published 00:56 on 2 May 2022

This is a popular racing event where the double handed dinghies are used. A 'Pro', someone with good club racing experience, is paired with an 'Am', a less experienced sailor. The aim is to have fun and improve the skill of our sailors.

We need names of participants in advance so we can arrange the pairings before the 7th May

Come and join in the fun of the Pro-Am racing on Saturday 7th May.

It will be preceded by a short race theory coaching session, aimed at beginner racers, starting at 2pm (note new time).

Afterwards we will fire-up the BBQ bring your own food.
