DAVE PERRY - Tactics in Crowds

Get ready for an advanced, funny and super-practical session on tactical positioning in traffic at the most critical parts of the course: the start, windward mark, and leeward mark. Dave breaks down what to do (and what to avoid) with clear decision-making frameworks, rules guidance, and spectacular race video.

Whether you're new to racing or a seasoned competitor, you'll leave with sharper instints, better positioning, and a stronger understanding of how the rules apply when it gets crowded.

Dave Perry is known for his enthusiastic, engaging teaching style and is widely respected as one of sailing's leading coaches and rules experts. He serves on the US Sailing Appeals Committee and was the Rules Advisor for the US Sailing Team at the 2024 Olympic Games.
