    North U's Performance Race Week offers five days to develop and hone your racing skills with a combination of onboard coaching, seminars and video review. The clinic concludes with a championship regatta.
    Overall, I thought the program was fantastic. It met or far exceeded my expectations. The program has many strengths, I found the greatest of them was the depth of knowledge and the willingness of all the coaches to share their knowledge with us. This included after the day had ended while kicking back with a beer.

    Overall, I thought the program was fantastic. It met or far exceeded my expectations. The program has many strengths, I found the greatest of them was the depth of knowledge and the willingness of all the coaches to share their knowledge with us. This included after the day had ended while kicking back with a beer.
