SAIL TRIM Secrets – CBYRA Free

FREE for current members of CBYRA!

This webinar series from Dave Dellenbaugh will be a 'deep-dive' into the topic of SAIL TRIM. This series will take a detailed look at how to trim your sails for optimum boatspeed across a range of wind and wave conditions. The sessions are all on Mondays in March beginning March 6 at 8:00 pm US EST (GMT -5).

March 06 – Trim PRINCIPLES
March 13 – MAINSAIL Trim
March 20 – JIB & GENOA TRIM
March 27 – SPINNAKER Trim

Each week we will look closely at a different sail. What sail shape should you be looking for, and how do you use the available sail controls to get that shape? Specifically, how should you trim that sail for light air, heavy air, waves, pointing, footing, being underpowered or overpowered, and more. Plus, how do you 'change gears'? And how should you trim that sail together with other sails to optimize performance? The content will be geared to a wide range of boats, for both skippers and crews.

The series will be led by Dave Dellenbaugh. The sessions are about 90 minutes each and include video, quizzes, photos, diagrams, charts, etc. The price is normally $55, but it is FREE for members of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association. Participants get links to watch all four live sessions, plus: 1) free study material sent to you before each session; 2) a link to a document with all the series' Q&As; and 3) unlimited access to REPLAYS of all four webinars (in case you miss any or just want to review them).
