Understanding the wind is a key ingredient in successful sailboat racing. This unique four-part webinar series examines how to take advantage of puffs, lulls and wind shifts from meteorological and strategic racing perspectives. Meteorologist Chelsea Carlson looks at changes in wind pressure and direction from a weather point of view, with a focus on using clues (e.g. clouds, the presence of land) to predict what the wind will do next. Coach Dave Dellenbaugh explains how to translate your understanding of puffs, lulls and shifts into practical race-winning strategic moves, both upwind and downwind. All sessions are about 90 minutes.
