Winter Is Seminar Season, Part 2
Picking up where we left off on Friday’s ‘Lectronic Latitude post…
Corinthian Yacht Club invites racers to sail or drive in to the CYC on the Friday night before the Corinthian Midwinters on January 20-21. "We’ve persuaded Liz Baylis, past world match-racing champion, America’s Cup racer and Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year (2002) to give a talk. She’s agreed to cover that oh-so-important start (tactics, tides, and recovering from an oops), overall race strategy, and related topics." The talk will be on Friday, January 19, at 6:30 p.m.
