When Should a Sailor Join Team Gnarly?
Most sailors who join Team Gnarly have completed at least two summers of training at their local yacht club, and are eager to continue sailing into the fall after their summer program ends. Fall weekend practices are the best entry point for new Team Gnarly sailors. The water is warm, winds are fair and boat traffic is reduced after Labor Day, making for ideal sailing conditions well into November. After attending a full set of fall practices, most sailors are ready to participate in their first regional or national Opti events.
