Clinic Info

Thank you to the Newport Harbor Sailing Foundation for your generous support of us and other Newport Beach sailors. This was our first-time experience at this prestigious C420 racing clinic.

After a year’s hiatus, Sail Newport hosted its’19th BEG clinic that had small group sessions and low sailors to coaches ratios. We participated in classroom briefings, video analysis, and a final day regatta. When asked what the best part of the clinic was, both of us agreed “the best part of the clinic was the interaction between the sailors and coaches.” It allowed us to collaborate, share, and compete at one of sailing’s most iconic venues, Newport, RI.

A huge thank you to the Gonzalez Family and Sail Newport for an excellent advanced clinic!
