 A webinar about crewing!
Hi! In a few weeks I'm starting a new three-part webinar about how to become a better crew. This unique series will examine the skills every crew member needs to be a more valuable part of their racing team. For additional info, see the description below.
• This webinar is a great way for you and your team, club or fleet to support crewing!
• The series will be valuable for skippers as well as for crew.
• We offer group discounts for clubs, fleets and teams. If you're interested, please email us for more info.
Even if you can't make all (or any!) of the three live sessions, you'll get links to watch them any time you want. These will be a great resource for crews and skippers! If you'd like to register, use the green link below. We also offer a money-back guarantee if the webinar is not right for you.
This will be an excellent way to start the summer season!
Thanks, I hope to 'see' you there – Dave Dellenbaugh
PS. This webinar is designed for any boat that is sailed by more than one person. If you already registered for the webinar (thanks!), please excuse this duplicate email.

Become a Better Crew!
In most boats, racing success depends on good teamwork. As the old saying goes, two heads are usually better than one, and four or five heads are better than two. Sailing is a complex sport with a lot of variables, so it’s extremely valuable to have all members of a crew engaged and helping sail the boat fast and smart. That’s what this webinar is all about.
Webinar topics include crew communication ideas, decision-making processes, sail trim rules of thumb, crew movement advice, helpful crewing tricks and strategies, plus a bunch of other tips for boathandling, sailhandling, and becoming a more effective and successful team. This will be a great learning experience for crews (and skippers!) of all abilities and boat types.
The webinar begins Monday, May 5 at 8:00 pm US EDT (GMT -4) and continues on the following two Mondays. Each session is 90+ minutes and includes videos, diagrams, animations, and quizzes. Participant questions are welcome throughout.
 The cost for the series is $45, which includes:
1) links to join the three live sessions;
2) pre-read materials for each session;
3) a link to all the webinar Q&As; plus
4) unlimited access to the full replays of all three sessions (in case you miss any or would like to review them at any time in the future).
To register or get more info, use the green link below.
Even if you miss one (or more) of the live sessions, you'll be able to view (and re-view) all of the series at any time.
Thanks, hope to 'see' you there! – Dave Dellenbaugh
P.S. The price will go up to $50 after April 27. Group discounts are available for teams, clubs, and fleets! Please email us if your crew/group is interested.
