Practices mostly consist of racing or drills aimed at specific situations that
arise on the racecourse. There will be reprieve given in the form of games,
swimming, and other fun to balance all the hard work your sailors will be
putting in. If you are unsure if your sailor is ready, please speak with Coach
Tom or Jill before signing up for the Sabot Race Team. When sailors are ready,
they will join the travel “Squad” that competes at most San Diego and Southern
