Bonneville Sailing - Spinnaker Clinic & Center for Wooden Boats Visit

Two Day Spinnaker Clinic

August 20-21, 2010

on Utah Lake

This clinic will be conducted by Tim Adams, race veteran of the Newport-Cabo San Lucas race series, past instructor for Sailors World, Mexico Ocean Racing Circuit (MEXORC) IOR 1 ton class, and currently bringing home trophies from the GSLYC race series in his Bruce Farr ½ tonner. Tim has raced and crewed aboard J-24, Merit 25, Ranger 29, Catalina 25, Swan 65, Hood 64, Santana 35, Beneteau 47.7 keel boats. We are lucky to have an instructor of this caliber to “show us the ropes”. Don’t miss this one!

Our platform for this year’s spinnaker clinic will be onboard Bonneville’s Olson 30, “Wyewacket”. A proven thoroughbred race participant in the Pacific Northwest’s Sail Wars, The Swiftsure, Whidbey Island Series and club racing out of the Corinthian Yacht Club, Wyewacket is a respected name in this legendary one design class.

We still have one opening left.

Course fee: $180.  Call 801-636-5204 to reserve your spot.

Bonneville visits the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle.

Since being introduced to Dick Wagner, founding Director of CWB, at the 2007 San Diego Maritime Convention, a lasting mentoring friendship has developed. We have returned again in 2010 for our third meeting, to visit and learn from a great advocate of preserving maritime heritage, teaching self-disciple and personal confidence through the sport of sailing. We arrived just after CWB’s hectic July 4^th boat festival, and managed to be one of the last crew aboard the Hawaiian Chieftain, http://www.historicalseaport.org/web/hawaiian-chieftain.html before it sailed to California.

      

After CWB it was up to British Columbia and some “away time” on beautiful Okanagan Lake and a visit to the Kelowna Yacht Club. Check out one of KYC’s entries in the Southern Straights race, eh?:    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13bo7-pUQ5w

Bonneville is growing thanks to all of you.

Due to a rapid increase in sailing lesson inquiries, we have brought  more instructors “on board” to facilitate your sailing dreams and busy schedules. We know you will enjoy sailing with Dale & Matt.  Come and join us and experience the fun of sailing on Utah Lake.
