Title: Dont be THAT guy series for new racers (or rusty ones) Post by: KB [us5219] on January 15, 2013, 10:08:57 PM Go to http://www.tiyc.net/ to see a series of illustrations and hints of things that many of us had to learn the hard way at our first regattas.
I know my first time at at a North American Championship, I was confused and a bit unsure of what to expect. So one by one, I hope to address some of the things that bewilder most new sailors. Hopefully there will be an update from time to time. A chapter a day would be nice, but dont count on it! -Kent Baker Title: Re: Dont be THAT guy series for new racers (or rusty ones) Post by: Daniel Hearn on January 16, 2013, 07:03:33 AM Great stuff, Kent, and TIYC!
