Program goals
  • Clinic goal:  
    • Each candidate will have 2 sessions totaling about 10-15 minutes steering. This is more of a practical run thru for candidates and applying new skills. 
    • Beginner: provide tools enable the candidate to feel a little more control, and how to manage the crew to what they can handle
    • Intermediate: provide tools to help steer races
    • Advanced: work towards increasing spacial awareness and problem solve.​
