Sign Up for the WIND Clinic and Regatta NOW!

July 8-12, 2009

The registration and info link can be found HERE

WIND is a comprehensive training clinic for young sailors ages 13-18. Coached by an accomplished staff of champion sailors, this immersion program will focus on performance sail trim, tactics and boat-handling in classroom and on the water sessions. Coaches will also familiarize sailors with the ins and outs of pursuing a National or Olympic campaign, including time management, money, travel and personal commitment.

Participation is open to Laser, Laser Radial, Laser 4.7, 420, Vanguard 15 and 29er sailors. Laser sailors may bring interchangeable rigs for different wind conditions. Charters are available. Participants must be members of either US Sailing or the Canadian Yachting Association, and must submit a sailing resume before the event. Coaches review all resumes and tailor the event to the ability of the participants. Meals and refreshments will be provided for the participants.

Please note: All youth sailors must be accompanied by a parent or chaperone.

The clinic is held in the Marine Park at Cascade Locks, Oregon, in the heart of the famous Columbia River Gorge. Cascade Locks presents a spectacular venue with steady winds, warm conditions, and plenty to do on and off the water. Families can enjoy hiking, biking, windsurfing, golf, or they can tour the towns in the area. Accommodations of all sorts are available, including camping within walking distance, or plenty of comfortable hotels. The Gorge is truly a great adventure for all.
