American Sailing’s Performance Race Week presented by North U will once again be coming to the Seattle Sailing Club to help refine your racing skills.
Held from September 15-19, 2025, seasoned coaches aboard J/80s are there to guide participants through practical on-water training and races, shoreside seminars, and insightful video reviews. The intensive five-day clinic sailed out of Shilshole Bay Marina is designed to elevate your competitive sailing skills, with special attention given to tactical decision-making. The aim is to help sailors improve their skills in every facet of racing trim, tactics, boat handling, and driving; and return home a better, more versatile racer.
North U coaches combine championship racing skills with years of coaching experience. With just four sailors plus a coach aboard each boat you’ll get close personal attention. And to be clear: The coaches will NOT be sailing the boats. You and your team do all the sailing. The format of each day will vary slightly depending on what skills are being taught and by the end of the week you’ll probably have done more starts than in an entire season of racing at your local club.
