As a newer member of PPYC, you’re exactly who we had in mind for our Rookie Events coming up the next two Saturdays (9/6 and 9/13). These are designed to make racing fun and approachable, whether you’re brand new to sailing or just haven’t raced much.

Racing might seem daunting, but it comes with benefits: It builds your confidence, sharpens your right-of-way skills for safer sailing, and lets you connect with other sailors in a unique way. Plus, it’s a blast and makes for epic memories.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Rookie Race Training (9/6): Learn the basics with hands-on coaching
• Rookie Race (9/13): Test your skills in a low-key race built for new sailors.
