This clinic will provide racing practice for the teams planning to attend spring regattas in the 29er. Along with registering for the clinic, teams should register to race in the Luff-in on Sunday where 29ers will race in the ocean as a “clinigatta.”
COACHES: Ian & Noah Nyenhuis
The Nyenhuis brothers are accomplished skiff sailors who have twice represented the US at the World Sailing Youth World Championships, winning the Bronze medal in 2021. They also finished 4th in the Open World Championships (out of 189 teams) and have competed in the 49er.
All sailors must register individually but can put on the registration form if you have a preferred teammate.
Clinic cost is $100/sailor for the weekend. Late fee of $50 after January 20th.
Loaner Boat fee: Additional fee of $75/sailor for use of an HPYS loaner boat for the weekend.
Safety: It is recommended that sailors wear a wetsuit and booties. Crews should have properly fitting trapeze harnesses. All sailors will need to wear a rash guard or pinnie over their trapeze harness and lifejacket to ensure that buckles are covered. A Fox40 whistle must be attached to your lifejacket.
