Speed and Smarts at Oakcliff Sailing
Oakcliff is proud to be one of the first organizations to book David Dellenbaugh in the inaugural year of the Speed and Smarts seminar series. This year there will be two seminars; Starting and Upwind. We will hold Starting in the morning, take a hour lunch break and then have Upwind in the afternoon. Take either seminar for $40 per person or both for $75. Lunch is $10 if you want a provided hot lunch.
This is the ideal seminar for those who are new to sail boat racing or those who want to delve into topics in detail. Speed and Smarts Newsletters do a great job of making topics accessable to those learning as well as interesting for those trying to pick up one or two tricks that can make them more competitive in the upcoming season. I always learn something in every issue. David Dellenbaugh will bring his easily accessable style and high level content to these seminars at Oakcliff Sailing.

A 16-page digital issue of Speed & Smarts that explains the seminar topic. Special seminar discounts on all educational materials from Speed & Smarts.
