Open Bic Events - Upcoming
Wind Power strives to promote our sports beyond the usual of providing lessons and equipment by supporting, sponsoring & organizing Events. One of the beauties of our sports is the vast majority of the participants are very cool and enjoy meeting and welcoming others to the sport.
An Event and/or competition is a great way to connect with others in the sport. You can share knowledge such as other places where the sport is happening, tips on how to improve and where the next event is. Wind Power encourages everyone at all levels to attend events. It’s like taking a free, fun lesson for you always leave an event with more knowledge or better skills than when you got there.
The Open Bic Un-Regattas are a new concept developed by Bic where the emphasis more on having fun as a group than who is the best or fastest. It’s all about having FUN, Wash away the race face and put a big smile on it. Wind Power supports Yacht Clubs or Communities that have Open Bic Fleets by assisting them in running an Un-Regatta. New to the schedule this year are events in Sturgeon Bay and Sheboygan. Get your kids involved, take them to other bodies of water in our region and introduce them to other kids who are passionate about Sailing.
