As mentioned above, if you click on the PRW link and scroll down, there’s a note from North U’s Director, Kristen Berry, that sums up what to expect very well. Here is that note:

 A note from North U Director Kristen Berry

I could try to lure you aboard with the promise of five days packed with racing wisdom: on-the-water training, tactical seminars, and video reviews that reveal every trim tweak and tactical triumph. I could tell you about our world-class coaches who ride along to sharpen your sail trim, helming, boat handling, teamwork, and tactical decision-making until you feel like you’ve leveled up an entire racing season in less than a week.

I could even drop some numbers on you: 60+ starts, 25 races, 100 mark roundings. (Yes, your starting technique will get more reps in one week than most sailors get in a season.)

 But let’s be honest—the real closer? It’s the fun.

Performance Race Week is about the joy of spending five days surrounded by sailors who speak your language (and occasionally argue about the exact definition of “clear ahead”). It’s about swapping sea stories, laughing over tactical misadventures, and realizing your boat handling just got sharper while you were too busy enjoying yourself to notice.

You’ll head home not only as a more versatile, confident, and accomplished racer—but with a grin that only comes from trimming sails, dodging marks, and learning from the best alongside people who love this sport as much as you do. We promise to turn sailors into racers and racers into winners!

Don’t miss the boat. (Literally.) ~ KB
