Sailing the Collegiate Dinghies Clinic is a three-day clinic intended for high school and college sailors who wish to learn collegiate sailing techniques and practice like one of the top college sailing teams in the country. It will be a great opportunity for sailing teams that need a little extra coaching boost to get some additional instruction. All aspects of sailing the Collegiate FJ and 420 will be covered. Specific topics will include straight-line speed, tacking, gybing, and boat handling for starting. Please note, strategies and tactics may be covered in the clinic, however the focus will be on sailing the boats well. Sailing will take place in Harvard’s fleet of FJs and 420s. No housing is provided.
