Hi,

 It is only Tuesday and I am already dreaming when I can be on the water again. :-) I would like to join a racing clinic and spinnaker clinic. I called up Modern Sail school but their clinics are full for this April. Seems like their clinics are in high demand. Any recommendations where I can enroll in these clinics?

Regards,
Lakshmi.

The list is pretty short.  Modern Sailing, Spinnaker Sailing in SF, and Club Nautique.  I don't know who does spinnaker training.

Thanks for the quick reply @James Isbester . Modern Sail school teaches a asymmetric spinnaker and racing clinic. Both of them are full for April. So is the performance sail class at Club Nautique. Club Nautique does not hold spinnaker clinics. It would be really great if BYC can host a clinic. I missed the last one hosted by North U winds at BYC.

Regards,
Lakshmi.

Modern will do ad hoc private spinnaker lessons if you ask.  You don't need to supply your own crew as they will draw volunteers from experienced members to help out.

Hi,


   Would any of the senior sailors be interested in hosting a spinnaker for the more junior sailors like myself? 

Thanks,
Lakshmi
