Duration: 3, 4, or7 weeks
Prerequisites: Learn to race class or equivalent.

The 420 Race Team is an intensive summer program designed for sailors who are interested in building racing skills and preparing for regattas. Emphasis is on building off of sailors’ previous racing experience in a competitive atmosphere. Coaches will teach advanced boat-handling techniques, tactics, and physical fitness including the use of the spinnaker and trapeze aspects of the 420, while stressing the importance of sportsmanship. 

The 420 Race Team will represent White Bear Lake in Twin Cities Youth Sailing Regattas on many Fridays on lakes throughout the Twin Cities (schedule may be found here) as well as at regattas across the Midwest. Registration includes coaching during practices and at all TCYS events.
