Steve Crowe is a North Sails Specialist from Vancouver. A boat builder, sail maker and rigger, Steve most recently managed and captained the Mayhem Racing Program which started with a Farr 40 and graduated to TP52s. He is the coach of the northwest youth racing team, which has made many trips to the winner’s podium. In this seminar, you will learn the fundamentals of upwind performance, plus advanced techniques that balance angle of attack, sail depth, and twist in both the main and jib in order to optimize speed and pointing in all conditions. Through animated graphics, photos, and video you will see how the champions do it. In addition, the course covers the latest in spinnaker trim and control for both conventional and asymmetric spinnakers.
(Note: The North U Seminar held in Winnipeg 2011 was Racing Tactics. This is a different seminar on Trim)

Sharing a Closely (Carefully?) Guarded Secret

The Lake of the Woods area comprises one of the natural wonders of North America. At over 70 miles long and wide, with more than 105,000 km of shoreline — which is more than Lake Superior, and more than 1,400 islands it is easy to see why. The lake is found in the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba and the state of Minnesota. The northern end is home to deep, clear water and the rugged Canadian Shield, contrasted to shallow water and sandy bottoms at the southern end. Boaters see wildlife that includes Canadian geese, beavers, deer, bears, common loons, moose, pelicans, and bald eagles.  Click for more...
