unlocked

Pros.  We read about them here on SA and we see them out racing.  Sometimes we’re lucky enough to sail a regatta with one onboard.  But next week, Ullman Sails is putting them on stage – front-row and center – and making them fess up to how they approach race day.  This new seminar, appropriately coined “Unlocking the Racecourse,” will crack their methods wide open as they talk their way through a standard buoy race, covering everything from pre-event practice and tuning to pre-starts, mark roundings and tactics.  This panel is packed with pros – including 4-time World Champion Dave Ullman – who will comment from the perspective of a big boat , dinghy, sport boat or handicap sailor.  And if you want to ask something specific, this program is designed to let you listen AND pick their brains (yup – a Q&A is built into the program).

“Unlocking the Racecourse” hits four major locations on the West Coast for its inaugural tour – Seattle, Honolulu, San Diego and Newport Beach.   It starts this Sunday night following the final night of the Seattle Boat Show.  Get tickets now because they’re going fast.  More info like ticket prices, times and locations are posted here.  This is going to be a goodie…
