In January of 2023, the league adopted several amendments to the MBL Procedural Rules. Please review the document (Section 9-11) which reflects significant changes.


2023 Summer
Harvard Sailing Clinics


Harvard's Crimson_Sailing_Academy is offering two advanced team racing sailing clinics in 420 dinghies this summer. The first is a two day clinic July 29-30 and the second is a three day clinic August 22-24.

"The clinics will cover the fundamental attitude, the overall plan and the fine details of execution required to team race at the highest level."

 

Space is limited and will be offered first-come-first-served. Additional details
