RACING PROGRAMS
There seems to be an unusual excitement in the air with the much hyped America's Cup coming to San Fransisco in 2013. With that major sailing event, comes increased interest in sail boat racing and a better knowledge of the history as well as application of using just wind to lift a boat to speeds in excess of 40 miles an hour. If you would like to experience some of that excitement, we have a few racing opportunities you just may want to cross off your bucket list.
Bonneville now has access to two Olson 30's, a gifted and well qualified instructor and some wide open spaces to let these two thoroughbred racers off the chain. Join us for an opportunity to compete in a one design match race around the buoys, while learning trim, balance, and tuning secrets that are directly applicable to your racer/cruiser.
