Greg Fisher's Flying Scot Seminar

Debbie Cycotte on Saturday April 16, 2005 11:32PM

To kick off the 2005 sailing season, FBYC Fleet #103, held a seminar on successfully racing Flying Scots to be sure that everyone was up on the latest tuning advice and ready to go.

Twenty-seven sailors attended with visitors from the Scot fleets at RRYC, LOWSC, GRSA, and one Fireball sailor from Indian Creek YC on Sunday, April 10th. It was perfect weather to hold the clinic outside with a clear blue sky, temperatures in the 60's, and a gentle breeze perfect for "land sailing".

The real success to the seminar was our teacher, Greg Fisher, who heads up the One-Design Loft at North Sails in Annapolis. Greg is also one of the very best One-Design sailors in the country - his expertise is matched by few. His resume' of sailing championships is over 36 National, North Americans, and Midwinters titles in 9 different One-Design classes.

But what makes this guy so special is that he is a really nice person and an incredible teacher. He shares his knowledge with us in a clear and interesting way and is always responsive to any and all questions. His genuine interest in helping you learn more is unbelievable.

Many thanks to Noel Clinard for providing us with his Scot to use in the parking lot. We spent the entire time around his boat while gathering the latest in rigging, sail trim & performance, boat handling and tuning techniques.

This was an outstanding seminar and a fun day with fellow Scotters!
