Twilight sailing is back on again tonight with a 5pm splash. Because of Brett Beyer’s busy travel schedule over the next few months, we will not be running a formal Brett Beyer Twilight Program this autumn.  However, Brett will be running races tonight as he trains Andrew Cox. Brett has welcomed the rest of the fleet to utilize the marks and the starts that he will be setting up as part of Andrew’s training. This organized race set-up will surely add to the fun and challenge of the evening.We’re hoping to also offer some ad hoc Brett Beyer twilight sessions in coming weeks, where people can contribute to be part of the coaching. Stay tuned.
