Jay and Pease Glaser hosted an A-Cat clinic on Friday, May 26th, with ten participants from California, including six from Santa Cruz. They followed sailing with dinner, debrief and review of on-the-water movie footage. Saturday had four races, also followed by a debrief. Friday had light to moderate conditions, Saturday moderate to heavy, Sunday light to moderate. (There was some playful dialogue about the actual windspeed, so I leave it to someone with official data to clarify).
