Dave Perry and Andrew Campbell to coach US Youth Match Racing Camp |
Dave Perry, the current U.S. Match Racing National Champion, and Andrew Campbell, former Youth World Champion, Collegiate Sailor of the Year and Olympian in 2008, will be coaching a Youth Match Racing Camp this summer, at which they will be teaching advanced techniques for racing keelboats and match racing.
The Camp, for sailors ages are 15-20, will be hosted by the US Sailing Center of Sheboygan in Wisconsin, in their fleet of Sonars. The dates are July 8-12. Sailors may register individually, or as a team at a discounted rate, at http://sailsheboygan.us/n-2009-youthmatchrace-main.php. Space is limited but still available.
The focus of the Camp will be on correct keelboat sail trim and boat handling, including spinnaker work, team communication, rules knowledge, and techniques for winning in Match Racing. Teams are traveling from St. Thomas USVI, San Diego, Chicago and Detroit.
Perry says: 'I am committed to helping raise the level of match racing in the U.S., and that means exposing youth sailors to the advanced techniques for sailing keelboats and match racing as soon as possible. A camp like this provides an extraordinary opportunity to give talented youth sailors some great information and one-on-one feedback. The Sonar is a great boat to be doing this in; and having the opportunity to be coached by Andrew Campbell as well makes this Camp an amazing opportunity for young U.S. sailors who aspire to be great competitors. College or college bound sailors especially will benefit profoundly from this Camp.'
