The Seattle Thistle Fleet and Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle will host a women’s sailing and racing clinic at the Leschi waterfront (north end of the marina) on Saturday, June 22, 2013. The clinic will focus on basic and intermediate sailing and racing skills that are useful in any boat. If you or a female sailor you know would like a chance to try skippering, learn how to crew, or improve existing boat handling skills, this is a perfect opportunity to learn and have fun.

The clinic will offer both on-shore and on-the-water instruction and drills as well as a review of basic racing rules and strategies.Coaching and dock support will be provided by dedicated volunteers who want to encourage more women to sail and race.

Cost is $40/person, which will include breakfast, a cool sporty t-shirt, the use of a Thistle or similar 3-person dinghy, and on-the-water support boats. Please join us and help spread the word!
