Calling all West Coast Wetas!

Join us for some great summer sailing in Ventura, California on the weekend of June 22-23.  Spend Saturday with an on-the-water coach for some skill-building and camaraderie, and enjoy Sunday with three to five short, fun races.  This event coincides with Summer Sailstice, so you can do both at the same time!
Can’t dedicate the whole weekend? Choose a day!  The Saturday activities will be geared toward folks who want more time on the water and would like some coaching to increase their skill handling a Weta.  Sunday will be fun racing and a good opportunity for racing noobs to practice starts and mark rounding with a fleet of us.  Ventura consistently serves up great sailing conditions in the summer, with winds in the low to high teens, so there will be fun for everyone. Check out the schedule for more details. You don’t want to miss this!

Did I mention, all this is FREE!  Big shout out to Wetamarine, Pierpoint Performance Sailing, and Wetawest for helping us put this together.

Don't have a boat?  Don't want to bring your boat?  Flying in from out of town?  Pierpoint Performance Sailing has two Wetas available to charter for this event.

Here’s some more info on the Pierpont website
