2025 Winter Sailing Seminars

Held in the Utah Lake State Park Conference Room

4400 West Center Street  Provo, Utah

All meetings will start at 7:00 p.m.

We are thrilled to come together as sailors, count down the days until sailing season, and learn from one another. Whether you are an experienced sailor or just starting out, whether you have a boat, dream of owning one, or sail on any lake, you are welcome to join us!

January 30: “Chartering in the Sea of Cortez”

We start our series by hearing from Gary Ekker as he teaches us about chartering in the Sea of Cortez.

February 6: “Race experience and tactics”

Roger Crosland will teach us about his many experiences racing in San Diego.

February 13: No Meeting (We were unable to schedule the conference room for this night)

February 20: “Francesca Clapcich” We are honored and excited to have:

Professional athlete Francesca Clapcich is one of the world’s most versatile sailors. She has twice represented Italy at both the London (finishing 19th) and Rio (finishing 5th) Olympic Games in the Laser and 49erFX classes respectively; was the first Italian woman to compete in the Solitaire du Figaro; and has raced around the world twice in The Ocean Race, becoming the first Italian to win the notoriously challenging race in the 2022-23 edition. She is the very first female skipper to compete in the Ocean Fifty Series, leading the all-female team UpWind by MerConcept, and she will compete in the Puig Women’s America’s Cup for American Magic in October 2024. Her next big goal is to compete in the 2028 Vendée Globe, sailing solo and non-stop around the planet.

February 27: “Set Sail on Utah Lake: Your complete guide to sailing adventures”

Everything you need to know to join us in all the sailing activities on Utah Lake this year. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or beginner you won’t want to miss this.

March 6th “The Utah Lake Authority”

One of the favorite presentations of the year where Sam Braegger will tell us about what improvements are going on with the lake.

Catalina Catamaran Cruise, March 25, 26, 27, 2025

We're going to Catalina...and would love to have you come along. Contact Louise, 801-636-5204, to reserve.

At the conclusion of our lesson sets we are often asked:

How can we get in more sailing time??

The Awesome Factory has contacted Bonneville, with a great idea to help you accumulate "sea time". Check it out.  Follow their Podcasts.

They are happy to talk to you about your questions.
