US SAILING Partners With North U To Launch 2009 Racing Rules Seminars
Portsmouth, R.I. (July 1, 2008) - US SAILING, national governing body for the
sport, and North U, a provider of educational sailing programs geared towards
improving the sailing skills of racing sailors, have teamed up to offer Racing
Rules Seminars in 2009 to sailing organizations nationwide. The partnership
comes at an opportune time as the new Racing Rules of Sailing for 2009-2012 will
take effect January 1, 2009.
The Racing Rules Seminar is an intensive full-day program taught by top experts
in the field: Betsy Alison, Brad Dellenbaugh, David Dellenbaugh, Bill Gladstone,
Peter Isler, Dave Perry, and others. The seminar illustrates the underlying
principles of the Racing Rules of Sailing through a variety of interactive
exercises, quizzes and situational games. Students learn to recognize
positions, conflicts and opportunities on each leg of the course. US SAILING
members receive a $40.00 discount to attend a Racing Rules Seminar.
"North U is a leader in providing sailors with outstanding go-fast training to
improve their racing skills," said US SAILING Marketing Director Dan Cooney. "US
SAILING helps provide a level playing field by administering the rules and
training race officials. Together, these two organizations can reach more
sailors and help them better understand the rules. It's good for sailors, good
for the race course and good for the sport."
Sailing organizations interested in hosting a Racing Rules Seminar are asked to
contact Francine Wainer at fran@northu.northsails.com or 1-800-347-2457.
A schedule of 2009 seminar dates and locations will be announced later this
year. For more about the Racing Rules Seminars organized by US SAILING and North
