US Olympic Coach Luther Carpenter Roundtable
Luther Carpenter has graciously accepted an invitation to host a “Round Table Clinic of Racing” on Friday, May 16th at 6:00pm. This is the Friday before Dingyfest (May 17-May 18). Mr. Carpenter will focus on dinghy sailing so this will be an informative round table for anyone attending DinghyFest. He’ll also address issues all sailors come across. There will be a short Q&A at the end of the discussion and he may even tell some “war” stories from his time as the most successful US. Olympic coach. All are invited to take part in this Round Table.
Take a minute to read about Luther Carpenter. You can also google his name to find countless articles on him. Here are some links about Luther and his career:
