BEG Racing Clinic

A message from Head Coach John Mollicone:

The 12th Annual Sail Newport Advanced Racing Clinic in memory of Brooke E. Gonzalez, held June 13-16, was another great success with a record number of participants and near perfect weather. Great breezes ranging from 5-18 knots made for two great training days culminating with a southerly for the regatta day on Sunday.

Boat handling and boat speed were the focus for the first two days along with starts and races. 12 International 420s teams participated, 23 Club 420 teams, 26 Laser Radial sailors, and new fleets of seven Bytes and six F16 Catamarans rounded out the group of 116 sailors. Ranging in age the sailors traveled from 16 states and Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Bahamas, England, and Singapore. Many of the nation's top sailors were in attendance to jumpstart their summer sailing and get some top-level coaching.
