You don't have to buy a boat, coaching at regattas is free, Monday Night Racing is Free, boat transport to regattas is free, joining the Tahoe Yacht Club...you guessed it Free, courtesy of the Tahoe Community Sailing Foundation. There is also an exciting travel itinerary where we take the team on the road to major Laser Regattas on the West Coast to prepare them for the US Sailing Youth National Championships. Parents are also encouraged to travel with the team and race as well, as many of the regattas the team go to are open for all ages. We need parent volunteers to tow a coach boat or light Laser trailer and chaperone at regattas. To join the team, Athletes must complete a week of "Learn to Laser" to confirm that they have basic Laser boat handling skills and that they love the sport. Nick Pullen is the coach for the high performance team and brings decades of international Laser Racing experience to the team and is considered to be one of the best Laser coaches in North America.
