Sail Newport's Gonzalez Youth Sailing Clinic Information

Based on the success of the CISA clinic in southern California, Sail Newport and the family of Brooke Emmens Gonzalez embarked on a plan to create a high end clinic on the East Coast. We are in our 9th year of the Brooke Gonzalez Advanced Racing Clinic. We enjoy the reputation for highest quality coaching, fabulous hospitality, ocean sailing conditions and remarkable guest speakers.

2010 Program:
· The 3 ½ day program will consist of lectures and on-the-water drills with an emphasis on boatspeed. This will be combined with information on what it takes to reach your goals in sailing.

· This clinic is held in Laser Full Rig, Laser Radial, International 420’s, and Club 420’s. It is a BRING YOUR OWN BOAT Clinic. For Laser or C420 charter boat information, contact: Bob Adam at the Vanguard Sailing Center of RI, bob.adam@laserperformance.com or call (401) 683-0400

Email John Mollicone with any questions regarding the resume. John_Mollicone@brown.edu Resume Deadline was April 1, 2010.

On Saturday Night of the clinic, the sailors are treated to a speaker from the highest levels of the sport. Prior speakers have included: Gary Jobson, 470 Gold Medalist Kevin Burnham, Olympic Team Members, Isabelle Kinsolving, Katie McDowell, America’s Cup veteran and current Volvo Race Competitor Ken Read and US Olympic Team Coach Skip Whyte.

“These sailors ages 14-18 receive the highest level coaching from some of the best trapeze dinghy coaches and Laser coaches in the country” says Brad Read, Executive Director of Sail Newport. “Emphasis is on speed producing factors and techniques that work on long courses where speed is at a premium.”

· Participants accepted into the BEG Clinic will be contacted by April 15th. Participants will receive an online link to Sail Newport’s payment gateway. At that time, you will be able to view this year’s coach list and updated schedules.
