Racing to learn

Article Abstract:

A learn-to-race course offers more advantages than a learn-to-sail course. In a learn-to-race course, the combination of competition and skilled instruction allows one to conquer fear of sailing and facilitate learning. The sailing-school environment would also allow one to relax and truly enjoy sailing.
