Road to Rolex Clinic
February 21 and 22 at Davis Island YC, Tampa FL
The first Road to Rolex clinic on the 2011 calendar will be held February 21-22, in conjunction with the Layline J/22 Midwinter Championship at Davis Island Yacht Club. Two-time Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Sally Barkow (Nashotah, WI), an accomplished match racer and 2008 Olympian, will lead the women-only clinic. Registration on Monday, February 21, will be followed by boat rigging with industry experts on hand to assist. The afternoon’s on-the-water session will be filmed for review during a working dinner that evening. Tuesday, February 22, the clinic will resume on-the-water. A break at noon for a debrief will precede the short race series in the afternoon which will determine the clinic winner who receives a $200 credit toward her entry fee in the Rolex IWKC. A debrief, reception and awards will close out the clinic.
Organized in preparation for US SAILING’s 2011 Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship, the Road to Rolex clinics facilitate the participation of women in keelboat racing; however, participants do not have to be attending the Rolex IWKC to join in the clinic.
Registration deadline for this event is February 15, and the clinic will be limited to 10 boats. For more information, contact clinic chair Kat Malone: sailingkitty@hotmail.com or 813-842-0928. Register for the Road to Rolex Clinic HERE
