-and Todd Pearce - 2025 NA's winner - is a 90% yes

We will have 3 boats in the water at RVYC dockside to cover off preliminary topics like optimal deck layouts, systems, pole storage options, setting the pole and crew positioning for flying the spinnaker, gybing and hoisting/ dowsing, and then we'll head out on the Bay for hands-on practicing.

This day clinic will consist of:

10 - 11:30am - Dockside instruction for everyone using a couple of boats pointed downwind. We will also discuss optimal deck layouts, systems, pole storage options, setting the pole and crew positioning for flying the spinnaker, gybing and hoisting/ dowsing.
