Performance Race Weeks

Are Presented By

Sailboat racing requires a broad mix of skills, including sail trim, boat handling, helming, rules and tactics, wind, weather, teamwork, rig tuning, starting, and more. At ASA/North U Performance Race Weeks, we spend five days exploring every facet of racing success through an enriching blend of practical on-water training and races complemented by shoreside seminars and insightful video reviews. With a coach on every boat, you’ll receive close personal attention to build on your strengths and eliminate your weaknesses. Join us for this unique opportunity to become a better, more versatile, and more accomplished sailor.

The program was exceptional! The onboard coaches are the best out there and the racing drills help improve your sailing & racing skills. Plus every day is followed up with an extensive review. Whether you want a refresher course, or you want to participate in world-class regattas, this is the program for you.

This has been an amazing and invaluable experience for me. I learned more than I ever knew there was to learn. The combination of on-the-water sessions and classroom instruction was great. I would highly recommend it to all sailors and teams.

A note from North U Director Bill Gladstone

Please join us at an ASA/ North U Performance Race Week. I could lure you in by telling you how we spend five days exploring every facet of racing success through a combination of on-the-water training, seminars, and video review. I could entice you by telling you how our expert on-board coaches will help you improve your sail trim, helming, boat handling, teamwork, and tactical skills. I might also detail how you’ll get in a season’s worth of racing - upwards of 60 starts, 25 races, and a 100 mark roundings in a week's time. But the closer is the fun. Come to Performance Race Week for the fun of spending a 5 days with a bunch of other sailors and great coaches; and go home a better, more versatile, more accomplished racer as a bonus.
I’ll be there. Hope you will be too.
