They will prepare you for on-the-water training and races that the Match Racing Club is planning at NYC this spring and summer on Thursdays and some Sundays (including monthly championships).

Match Racing 101 and 102 evenings were huge successes. The Match Racing 103 seminar will be held on Monday March 8th in the dining room. Eat first or bring food because the restaurant is closed.
