BIRW - North U Starting Clinic for J/105 & J/109 Class @ Block Island Maritime InstituteTAGS: J/109 LI SoundIn 137 days Sun.

There will be a J/109 & J/105 Class Starting Clinic held Sunday, June 18, 2023 – the day before Block Island Race Week starts. 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.
Preparation – Clinic Plan & Info to be distributed via email. 11:00 – 12:00 Pre-Brief at BI Maritime Center 1:30-3:30 On the Water – 3 Rolling 5 minute starts for each class. – REPEAT this “3 Rolling Starts” 4:30-5:30 (Optional) Debrief and Video Review at BI Maritime Center (Next to Dead Eye Dick’s) – Review Video The clinic will be conducted by North U Director Bill Gladstone and other North U Regatta Services Coaches.
