Welcome To Match Racing DVD Available
North U. is set to release a new match
racing DVD called Welcome To Match Racing and will give away the first 1,000 copies free of charge. Hosted by three- time U.S. Match Racing Champion Dave Perry, this DVD takes viewers through the basics of match racing from start to finish. With a release date set for the beginning of July, a generous donor who wants to expose match racing to as many people as possible in North America has funded the development and free distribution of the DVD. The Welcome to Match Racing DVD
covers match racing from start to finish. It begins by covering the three parts of a match race start: entry and initial meet- ing; middle segment; and final approach. Next, viewers learn about upwind and downwind tactics for both leading and trailing boats, along with mark rounding tactics. Perry also covers the match race umpiring and delayed penalty system. To get a free copy, be one of the first
1,000 people to RSVP on the North U website:
