CISA Advanced Racing Clinic began in 1978. It will be held this year from March 19-21 at ABYC in Long Beach, California, with the goal of teaching the nation’s best youth sailors how to do it better. Sailors must apply to attend. The clinic has a long tradition of great coaches and legendary sailing and this year is no exception. The 2022 CISA Coaching Staff will be unique, with a mix of veteran perspectives and new, young energy.
Alamitos Bay Yacht Club is perfect for a classroom setting with ocean access. Athletes participating in the clinic will get first hand experience sailing the 2028 Olympic Sailing venue and local knowledge from some of the foremost expert coaches in their classes before the Youth Worlds Qualifier Regattas to be held the following weekend out of ABYC and Marina Del Rey YC. Sailors will experience a variety of conditions with lighter air and flat water most mornings, and building breeze and waves most afternoons.
