North U Starting Clinic for J/105 & J/109 Class @ Block Island Maritime Institute
Jun 18 @ 11:00 am – 5:30 pm
North U Starting Clinic for J/105 & J/109 Class @ Block Island Maritime Institute | New Shoreham | Rhode Island | United States

78 days until this event

There will be a J/109 & J/105 Class Starting Clinic held Sunday, June 18, 2023 – the day before Block Island Race Week starts. Bill will cover the cost for all J/109 Vento Solare participants

The Storm Trysail Club Race Committee will be calling the practice starts for the North U Starting Clinic on Sunday, June 18 to be conducted by North U Director Bill Gladstone – using the on-the-water schedule similar to the  “J/109 Starting Clinic at 2017 BIRW” details. The Clinic will have 6 practice starts. This will give us the best possible practice for the starting challenges we’ll face on Monday. Videography will be from a support boat and from a drone stationed about 150 feet up, off to one side of the line, to give us excellent views of all the boats. The videos will be reviewed with Bill Gladstone after practice and available to all participants for use in preparing for future regattas.

Bill Gladstone will email two documents to those registered for the Clinic: Starting Techniques for Big Fleets; and Clinic Drills and Procedures. On Sunday morning, June 18, Bill will hold a whiteboard discussion (attendance not required) of big fleet starting tips and techniques, and describe his plans for the afternoon’s on-the-water practice.

Bill, the author of the North U Racing Trim, and North U Racing Tactics books, is well suited to conduct this Clinic. He’s taught sailing and racing for over forty years. Thousands of sailors are graduates of his seminars.

Consider registering for this Clinic. You and your crew will receive Bill’s Starting Techniques for Big Fleets; and Clinic Drills and Procedures by Wednesday, June 14. This will give skippers and crews time to study them before practice – things get busy before a big regatta.

You can click this link to register: www.NorthU.com with a single $175 fee per boat before 11 June, and $225 per boat thereafter. You don’t have to list all your crew members – you can forward Bill’s documents when you get them. Many of us know the devastating consequences of a bad start in a large one design fleet. The more J/109s registered for the Clinic, and the more homework done before practice, the more effective the training will be for everyone.

  • Sailing 1:30 – 3:30
  • Debrief 4:30 – 5:30

Breakwater YC J/109 Invitational Regatta @ Breakwater YC
Jul 15 @ 9:00 am
Breakwater YC J/109 Invitational Regatta @ Breakwater YC | Sag Harbor | New York | United States

105 days until this event

Breakwater YC members are providing guest rooms for crew!

This is  the 2nd of 3 events in the J/109 East Coast Regatta Series

We are hoping for a great turnout for the two day J109 regatta Breakwater Yacht Club will host on July 15/16, 2023 in Sag Harbor as part of the Sag Harbor Cup.  It’s a great location for racing and we can usually promise a nice seabreeze, even in July.  Here are the key details:

  • Dates:  Saturday/Sunday July 15/16, 2023
  • Cost:  $150 per boat, which covers entry fee, plus tickets to the Saturday and Sunday parties for the entire crew
  • Mooring/Dockage:  Breakwater can offer a limited number of free or low cost moorings and dock spaces for travelers.  Additional transient moorings will be available from Sag Harbor Yacht Yard and Sag Harbor Moorings
  • Housing: We are working with several local establishments to see if we can get some guaranteed space and discounted prices.  More to come on this topic.
  • Format:  WL courses similar to AYC and Block; target of 3-4  races per day

We are looking forward to a great regatta.  We hope to see each of you here.
