The webinar on the Cabo and Islands Races took place in February but lives on online. Check it out prior to racing down the coast this Spring.

On Thursday February 18 at 7PM, two-time America's Cup winner, Peter Isler conducted a webinar on the Cabo & Islands Races at his online school: Isler Academy - home of Marine Weather University. The class included a lecture by Peter covering topics including race strategy, optimum routing, safety and much more. Special guest presentations included:
- Cabo Race Climatology and Pacific Coast Weather - by Chris Bedford - American Magic's team meteorologist
- Electronics considerations - by Artie Means - Transpac record holding navigator and Peter's electronics guru.
This class was initially designed for the Cabo Race - but the Islands Race organizers suggested the course would be appropriate for Islands Race participants too - and we agreed. We have modified the curriculum accordingly. Much of the curriculum was already cogent to any west coast offshore/coastal race.
Bring the crew - the class is not just for navigators. The more the afterguard, speed team and crew are involved in race prep - the better!
