Everyone has a chance to shine like an Olympic champion on August 10 at SAIL ON. We are going to cover a regatta in an entirely new kind of sailing vessel, for SAIL ON at least. We will race RS/X windsurfer, the very class of windsurfer that will be raced at the Olympics in just a few days.
There will be demos available at the SYC docks if you don’t own a copy and you can race on SAIL ON in the demo if you choose. So come on out and practice for the Sunday August 10 show. We will be using the Long Olympic Course with high winds. Suggest you try wind 15-18 for practicing.

Delinda? That’s not disinterest… that’s called ‘enpowerment!” (grin)
