We are delighted to announce that Brett Beyer will offer his popular Brett Beyer Saturday (BBSP) Program again this season. The initial instalment of the BBSP will be for 8 sessions on September 3, 10, 17, October 22, 29, November 5, 12, 26.
The cost of the program is $480 (plus merchant fees) per subscriber. It needs at least 20 subscribers to run. Subscriptions need to be confirmed and paid by COB, Friday 19 August.
The terms of the program and sign up form can be found here.
BBSP subscribers will carry a GPS during each race, and will later receive a report and animation showing their GPS tracks vs the fleet, together with fleet-level commentary on each leg, and also a video with commentary on the starts. Subscribers will also have access to Brett to ask questions on the water (not during the races), and can also later ask questions on the weekly report.
We need 20 subscribers paid by Friday, 19 August for this to proceed.

Our PRO for the day Rod Barnes reports in.
The weather gods shone favourably on the fleet on Saturday as sailors were greeted to a 6-11knot westerly with blue skies and a clear harbour.
In the radials Brooke Wilson dominated the fleet in all three races but was pushed all the way by Ian Alexander, Andrew Cox and Kate McHugh.
Youngster Charlie Byford showed some great form in the early stages of the third race but was overrun by wiser heads.
In the standard fleet Daniel Costandi showed a clean pair of heels in all three races closely followed by others including a consistent Rob Vann.
Although they now sail in different fleets it was great to see Brooke and Daniel have a tacking duel up to the finish in the first race.
The racing was managed by Rod Barnes and David Airey on the Jazzman supported by John Verco and Steven Boukatos on the Paul Adam.
Thanks to Paul Adam for his regular supply of tomato soup which is always a winner at the end of winter sailing.
