Fast Track to Performance Racing

Never raced before? 

If you don't have any racing experience and already know how to sail a boat like the Colgate 26, all you need is a competitive spirit to have the time of your life!

Racing skills in need of a good tune-up?

If you've raced before, but only a small boats or very big boats, and could use a good tune-up in your boat handling skills, this is the perfect combination to put you in the winner's circle fast! Plus you'll be a leg up on the rest of the group when they arrive for Race Week because of your three action-packed days on a Colgate 26.

Three days of Performance Sailing followed by Performance Race Week

Arrive Thursday evening before Performance Race Week starts and take the three-day Offshore Sailing School Performance Sailing course Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You’ll learn more than you ever thought possible about sailing fast and handling a spinnaker in preparation for the Performance Race Week that follows; and you'll be a leg up on the competition because of your familiarity with the Colgate 26 and all the skills realized beforehand.

All at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island, Florida

What an incredible vacation you'll have. Three days of Performance Sailing April 16-18; then six days of Performance Race Weeks, April 18-24. And it's all at the most beautiful destination resort in Southwest Florida - South Seas Island Resort. There's everything to do with warm weather and sunny skies here: jogging trails, bicycling, kayaking, gorgeous shell-strewn beaches, beautiful pools, fishing, golf, tennis, Ding Darling Wildlife Preserve, the Shell Museum, and so much more. Don't come alone! Bring your family and friends and give them the perfect get-away while you hone your racing skills.
