Join us for one of our sailing talks! 

This time, we’re diving into two exciting topics: Racing and Aerodynamics.

🌊 Racing: Strategy, Rules & Getting Started

Ever wondered why people race sailboats — or how they do it? We’ll cover:

• Different race formats: fleet, team, match, inshore & offshore
• How to follow races online and decode the winner (One Design vs IRC/ORC)
• What’s in a Notice of Race? Understanding routes, flags & signals
• The Racing Rules of Sailing: who has the right of way and when?
• Start line tactics: finding the favored side, timing your approach, and staying safe
• How to get involved: roles on a raceboat, picking a boat, and even virtual regattas

🌬️ Aerodynamics in Sailing

We’ll explore the invisible forces at play:

• Basics of sail aerodynamics and how wind interacts with sails
• Lift, drag, and the science behind sail trim
• How small tweaks can make you go faster
