The winningest sailor in Grandview Lake’s history, Jim Voelz (yes that's him in the Starboard Column -> with yet another Season Champion Trophy), will be conducting a sailing seminar for novice and experienced sailors. Non-sailor volunteers will also find this seminar helpful and are welcome as always. Topics covered will be basic sailing techniques as well as racing procedures, rules and tactics. Masks will be required of all attendees except presenters who have been vaccinated. Please RSVP by phoning 317-873-1637 and leaving name(s) so there will be enough copies of the materials for everyone who attends.
Why?
Sailing, and sailing races are great for developing skills such as:
· Adaptation to circumstances beyond one’s control.
· “Situational awareness” of many factors that are constantly and simultaneously changing.
· Strategic thinking about how to attain your objective given various constraints.
· Discipline in various areas, such as rigging the boat you depend on, getting to the starting line on time, and with enough time to scope out the course, etc.
· Knowing and adhering to rules and knowing how to make them work to your advantage.
· A competitive spirit, sportsmanship, and camaraderie.
· Realistic assessment of skill vs. good or bad fortune.
· Teamwork when there is a captain and a crew.
· Relationships here at Grandview Lake
All while enjoying time out on the water in a boat!
