Our Tuesday, November 13 speaker is Rob Harring, former J/World San Diego Senior Instructor and current Beneteau yacht dealer.
At J/World, Rob saw firsthand the sailing mistakes that we all make that slow us down and we’ve titled his appearance, What It Takes To Make Rob’s Top Ten List of Common Sailing Mistakes—And How to Correct Them to Make Your Boat Go Faster.
Rob grew up sailing on Lake Geneva, Wis. and crewed for his dad from the age of 4, so sailboats are in his blood. As a young man he was competitive in the 150-boat E-Scow fleet on the lake and went on to sail as a collegiate sailor at USC, where he took 4th in the College Nationals in the Sonar class. Rob really knows how to make a sailboat go fast.
The meeting begins at 7 pm at the Caddy Shack @ Rolling Hills Golf Course, 1415 North Mill Avenue, Tempe. (map) Dinner at 6. Non-members are welcome to attend.
Besides Rob’s appearance and the joy of hanging out with the rest of us at the meeting, there’s this incentive: we’ll give away a pair of Hobie Segundo Polarized Sunglasses (retail $210), courtesy of Hobie, the official sunglasses of US Sailing.
