A Fun Race for First Timers
by: Tim Tunks
I bought my first sailboat, a 26’ trailerable, on a whim 37 years ago when I had little knowledge of sailing or sailboats. I lived in Las Vegas then, with the boat on Lake Mead and a very good friend and expert yachtsman in Marina del Rey.
Old timers here will remember Hank McGill, who was my mentor and good friend. He said that the way to learn how to sail was to race. If I was to spend my time just sailing around, that would be the limit of my skills, but if I was to compete with others, I would have a measure for my performance in addition to having the examples and community around to accelerate my learning.
Hank was right, and I have had a lifetime of pleasure and satisfaction because I listened to him!
ASMBYC’s Home Port Regatta on Saturday, Nov. 5 is specifically designed to give basic skills and a rewarding racing experience to new racing sailors. And as a example of how much the racing community values new recruits, all this is for free!
On Thurs. Oct. 27 and Wed.. Nov. 2, there will be two free seminars covering most of the information a skipper & crew need to get started and be ready for the Nov. 5 regatta. There are also a number of experienced racers who have volunteered to mentor the new racers on the water so that they may race more safely and perform more effectively. Watch for more information in these pages about how to hook up with your very own mentor to help prepare you and your crew.
