Calling all umpires in training, sailors who want to find out more about being an umpire and umpires who need to re-certify.

This is a great way to get your racing juices flowing without having to actually go sailing in the frigid February weather. We can always use more umpires at Oakcliff and throughout the country. Umpiring is a great way to give back to the sport you love and  become better acquainted with the match and team race rules and moves.  

You can register through the link on the Oakcliff Calendar or directly with US Sailing. The seminar will include the option to take the umpire test required for certification. Subjects covered will be umpire speak, positioning and umpiring issues and recent calls. 

Please make Bill's life a little easier and register in advance! 

New: Tuesday Night to Become Grade 5's 

Three times during the 2014 season we are changing back to back Tuesday nights from drills to regattas.   By making them Grade 5 Match Race regattas, competing skippers will earn ISAF points and have another opportunity to apply skills learned in drills to the real life pressure of a counting race.   

If your team needs help finding crew we are here to assist.  Registration fees are waived for Oakcliff Supporters.   

The scheduled dates are: 

June 3 & 10  July 15 & 22 and August 12 &19  

In addition we will have 5 Saturday Grade 5 Clinegattas from April to September. The Saturday Grade 5's include a morning drill followed by a round robin regatta.  

There is no better way to improve your sailing than match racing.  Bring your crew and elevate your whole team to the next level.
