Two time world speed record holder Erik Beale has teamed up with Maui Sports Unlimited to offer speed clinics on Maui beginning in May and running every other Saturday thru September from 12-5pm. The location site will be at Kanaha Beach, in front of the Girl Scout pavillion. We will cover sailing techniques and tactics to achieve the highest speeds possible. Participants should rig up prior to the noon start, then the clinic will alternate between short theory lessons on the beach and speed sailing exercises on the water. Participants progress will be measured with the V-Max GPS units as used in the 2008 Maui V-Max Speed Series and will be a great opportunity to tune up for the races", says Erik. In 1988 Erik Beale was the first sailor in history to break the 40 knot barrier, he is the only member of the legendary "crossbow killers" who still speed sails. His most recent achievements include his British national record of 42.62 knots set in march 04 at the Masters of Speed and the highest speed award for the 2005 Navman speed series, 39.3 knots tied with Anders Bringdal. The cost is $100.00 per clinic for adults, kids $50.00 and includes the use of the V-Max GPS unit. Spaces are limited so reservations are recommended. To register call: Maui Sports Unlimited at 808-280-7060 or email: speedclinic@mauisportsunlimited.com
Dates for the 2008 clinic are: May 10, May 24, May 31, June 14, June 28, July 12, July 26, August 9, August 23, September 6, September 25. |
