We recently launched the Level 2 Steering Course as a beta. Thanks so much to @Cory Graham @Nicole Herlofsky @Lesley Blyth and @Christina Potter for completing all the classroom modules, doing the homework, showing up to the calls, taking the final exam, and giving us SO much incredible feedback. They're now ready to implement their new race steering know-how and get ready for the assessment. While they're doing that, @Joann Fegley and I will be filling the holes they found in our curriculum. Like - how to practice for a 2K turn if you don't have access to a 2K course or turning corridor. How to handle washriding.. either as the boat on the wash or the one dragging another on your wash. How to handle being cut off in a race, or the shenanigans that always occur when steering inexperienced crews at charity races. The rest of you can help us improve it too - what questions do you have about race steering?

Tell us where you're racing, when, and what distances they have! And if you have any fun facts (or horror stories) to share, do that too! (We're trying to gather info on races and what they offer.)

Curious - what events in your region have a 2K component? Or do you travel to races where there is a 2K? Basically - we're wondering how many of you ACTUALLY race these races!?

Come join us for an open call with no agenda - just a chance to meet some of the people behind the names and profile pics! Bring a beverage, come in your pajamas if you like, unwind and swap stories, challenges, fun facts...whatever comes up! Wednesday, March 18 at 7pm. Add it to your calendar now so you don't forget :)

Thanks to @Will Bober for inspiring this question. I'm curious.... how does your club structure the steering role? Is it a dues-paying role (i.e. do your steers pay club dues like everyone else), do you comp their dues, or do you pay your steers for their time?
