The Sail Sand Point c420 team is intended for sailors who are already proficient in racing double-handed boats such as cFJs, V15s, or c420s (no spinnaker/trapeze), and want to take their double-handed racing to the next level. The c420 is an Olympic Pathway class sailed throughout the US which establishes sailors with numerous high-performance racing skills. The SSP summer c420 team is structured around the Northwest Youth Racing Circuit, which consists of 5 major regattas beginning in June and finishing in early September. Please see the NWYRC website for the regatta schedule. Sailors will learn how to operate a double-handed boat with a spinnaker and trapeze, including skills such as fine-tuning boat speed, roll tacks and gybes, tacks and gybes on a trapeze, rigging a spinnaker, spinnaker sets and douses, properly trimming a spinnaker, gybe-sets, and mark roundings with a spinnaker. Sailors are expected to attend two practices each week as well as at least two regattas throughout the summer. Please contact the SSP Head Coach (alec@sailsandpoint.org) for more details.
