We had a clinic on Feb 10 for NB4T C420 sailing out of BCYC. After a slow start at the yacht club waiting for wind, we had nice sailing conditions out of the west with 10-12 knots of breeze. Our main focus of the day was starting with some of the best C420 racers in the country. We raced and battled each other all throughout the day. After today, everyone, including myself, was tired and beat, but we all pulled through and learned/practiced our starting strategies and skills. We focused on reps rather than flashy techniques, and it is evident that it worked. As we go into C420 midwinters next week, starting practices like this one improves all of our strengths as well as weaknesses.
