2025 Thursday Night Match Racing Drills
Description
Thursday Night Match Race Drills are in the Match 40s. If you want a break from intense racing you are also welcome to request to sail a Shields in the Classics Race.
For MR Drills be here by 5:30 ready to go. You should already know the basics of the Match 40s from sailing on Wednesday nights and want to step up your game, or you match race a fair amount but want to try new positions on the boat. If you already have a team you are forming we'll do our best to keep you together.
Each night we’ll start with a pre-brief in the office, proceed to the boats race to get sails up quickly, and jump straight into the action. We’ll start with the basics of dial-ups (without crashing) and starboard mark roundings. As the season progresses we’ll get into more aggressive drills such as penalty kills. Ideally, you can become a regular but if you are a first-timer please let the coach know so they can put you in the right position. This might even be on the umpire boat for maximum learning.
Sailing continues until sunset, debriefs are on the dock and often continue to a local eating and drinking establishment
Shields Sailing:
Not interested in match racing tonight? Bring your own team and you can take a shields out and sail with the classics.
For the Sheilds check in at the office by 4:30 and we'll give you a boat assignment and the keywords to get out to your boat.
