[Sonar] Team Captain Hook Training Labor Day Weekend at WYC

[Bert Foster]

Hi All,
Both David and Michael are coming to WYC Thursday afternoon.  We will 
test sail and race Thursday night.  It was pretty exciting last 
Thurs. with 102 boats in the bay.  We historically get 75-80 boats 
for bumper boats in the bay.  Also coming to WYC is a wonderful coach 
and professional sailor, John Powell,  who sailed with Leonard and 
Carmella in Chicago.  Also coming is Johnny Peterson's "Team John" 
who have been training in Sesame Street to prepare for the Mallory in 
Sheboygan in Sonars and will train with us again.  We all want to get 
better and this is the way to do it.

We will be training all weekend, and all Sonars are invited to train 
with us and get the same coaching.  We will be taking videos from a 
coach boat and having debriefs for all who attend.  See schedule 
below.   Also Gordy Bowers will spend most of Saturday on the Water 
working with us.  We will figure details of what drills we need to 
do, but they will include:  starting drills, many short races, speed testing,
tacking battles, some match racing before the start of a fleet race 
starting drill, spinnaker training.  Come Thurs night after the race 
to help plan the weekend, and when you can come.  Crew are welcome 
even if their skipper can't come.  We will do what we can to put you 
on a boat.  Having 3 boats is much better than 2 and having 4 is 
really great.  We all want to get better and this is the way to do it.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA WE COULD USE?

Friday afternoon, training after lunch.

Regards,
Bert
