Introduction to racing – new date

Introduction to sailboat racing on June 2nd at 9h00

The training session for introduction to sailboat racing which the racing committee has organized will take place on June 2nd at 9am (instead of June 9th as initially advertised).  The goal of the session is to demystify and destress racing for newcomers.  Racing is an excellent way to spend Sunday afternoon at IPYC, improve your sailing skills and share stories on the deck at the club after the race.
