MATCH RACING CLINICS

As part of a world wide promotion of match racing, North U is organizing a series of North American Match Racing Clinics sponsored by WIMRA (Women's International Match Racing Association). The clinics are open to men and women and will be offered through select clubs and fleets across the continent. This series will run parallel to WIMRA’s world wide schedule of clinics.

Clinic Curriculum

The Match Racing Clinic Curriculum was created by Dave Perry and Liz Baylis with assistance from North U. Two formats are available: A full 3 day format, or a 2 plus format (one evening followed by 2 full days).

You’ll learn about dial ups, circling, lead / push, the hook, the left shift and many other match racing tactics during shoreside sessions, and then head out on the water to do them. On the water sessions include a series of drills, exercises, practice starts and races designed to emphasize the development of match racing knowhow.

Sign Up as One or as a Team

The clinics are open to men and women. You can sign up as a team or individually.
