Racing Smarts: Dellenbaugh Webinar Start March 18

Mar 14, 2024

Sail racing fanatics will want to know that  Dave Dellenbaugh’s latest webinar (‘Contrasting Priorities’) starts on Monday, March 18!  (Our next Sailing in Canada comes out on March 20, so we needed to provide a heads-up!  Dave is a regular contributor to SinC)

This four-part series will analyze and explain how to adjust your tactical, strategic, and boatspeed priorities across four key racing dimensions: Strategy vs. Tactics, Upwind vs. Downwind, Light Air vs. Heavy Air, and Ahead vs. Behind. This will be a unique approach with lots of ideas about how to sail faster and smarter. It should be very helpful and interesting for any sailor (skipper, crew, big boat or one-design) who wants to improve their racing skills. 

 Even if you can’t make all (or any!) of the four live sessions, you’ll get links to watch them any time you want. You will also get all the pre-read materials plus a link to a Google doc with all the series Q&As. Use this link to register or learn more.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
