Start Racing

Race Coaching

Were launching a new race coaching initiative on Sunday 19 July with sailors on the water from 10am.

The aim is to encourage more members to give club racing a try in a friendly, supportive way, whether you are completely new to racing or simply want to build confidence.

The morning will start with a pre-race coaching session at 10am, aimed especially at new racers, although all sailors are welcome. This will be a short on-water session of around 30-45 minutes before the first race.

There will then be an on-shore briefing at 10.40am with the Race Officer, who will explain the course and share any other useful information for the days racing.

We will run a separate novice start if there are at least three boats. Sailors can choose to sign up for this on the entry sheet.

Following races 1 and 2, an experienced racer will also run short race clinics of approximately 10 minutes. These clinics are a great chance to ask questions, pick up practical tips, and talk through what happened on the water.

This will run on selected weekends going forward, and timings may be adjusted on the day depending on conditions and the race schedule.

*This isn't a supervised event so all sailors under 16 must be accompanied by a nominated adult.
