—The organizers of Sperry Top-Sider® Charleston Race Week, America’s fastest growing regatta, announced
today that local dinghy racer and coach Michael Miller will hold his
fifth annual Tides and Currents Seminar, which gives valuable guidance
to the sailors – 80 percent of whom are out-of-towners – on
Charleston’s notoriously tricky tides.
In the past, Miller’s seminars have drawn standing room-only crowds,
and winning skippers have dubbed his tips key to victory. For 2012, the
regatta’s organizers are planning to present Miller’s advice via an
online video. In that, he will deliver information covering both the
inshore and offshore race courses.
“The large numbers of attendees over the past couple of years have made
it tougher to get everyone the information they need, so I’m excited to
try a new tack this year,” explained Miller. “With time to record and
edit the presentation in advance, I’m confident we can get more
information to more people than we ever have before.”
Miller’s online video will be posted shortly before the regatta begins
on April 20, 2012, and it will be available on the Sperry Top-Sider
Charleston Race Week website (www.charlestonraceweek.com). Competitors
can submit tide or current-related questions to Miller any time between
now and April 10th via the Charleston Race Week Twitter page,
@CHSRaceWeek.
