ISA: Brett Beyer to offer world-class Laser coaching in the Gorge!
Attention Laser sailors!
The International Sailing Academy (ISA) will be back in the Gorge this
summer offering world-class training opportunities to North American sailors in
the planet's premiere heavy air venue. ISA training camps are renowned for
producing game-changing performance gains for club racers as well as Olympic
medalists. As a special bonus, leading the ISA coaching team this year is
13-time Laser Masters World Champion and Olympic sailing coach
Brett Beyer from Sydney, Australia. In addition to offering three training
camps (one
youth and
two all-ages), ISA coaches will be available for regatta coaching at the
Wind Youth Regatta, July 20-21, and the
Laser Master Pacific Coast Championships, August 3-4.
If you've ever asked the question "How can I make this boat go faster?" YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Attendance is limited, so
sign up today to reserve your space.
Support world-class sailing in the Gorge
It takes a lot of work and a lot of money to continue to bring world-class sailing
opportunities to the Gorge. Without the membership base of a traditional yacht
club, we're dependent on the support of our friends to help cover the costs of
boats, shore facilities, site improvements, coaching, instruction, and race
management. Donations and sponsorships account for nearly a third of our budget;
without them, we could not exist.
If you're passionate about sailing and
like what we're doing, please consider including CGRA in your charitable
contributions this year. CGRA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all
contributions are fully tax deductible. To make a contribution or learn more,

Sailing the Gorge: Too much fun?
 “The
best place in the world to sail!” That’s what multi-class dinghy champ
Jay Renehan had to say about Cascade Locks, Oregon, home of the Columbia
Gorge Racing Association after the final race of the 2013 Tasar World
Championships. “I could sail like that all day, every day. It was too much fun!”
What’s So Great About Sailing the Gorge?
"It is really one of the legendary venues of the world." Jonathan McKee
explains what he means in this interview.
What do you think?
We’re reaching
out to sailors around the world to help support our efforts to bring world-class
sailing events to the Gorge. But first we want to hear from you. How was your
experience sailing in the Gorge? What can we do to make future
visits more enjoyable for you and your family? What CGRA programs and/or events
are most important to you?

Sailor Satisfaction Survey
