Adult Race Training Day - Class Self Help Day

This years Adult Training Day on Saturday 17th April is going to be a Class Self Help Day !


The idea being if the Fleet Captains could rally their fleets to come down on the day then we could work with each fleet with the help of the Fleet Captain and / or a ‘Class Expert’ for the day to get the most out their sailing, racing and preparing for any up coming Open Meetings.

The morning session to be spent on shore checking everybody’s boat set up, sail controls looking at RYA best technique details on the Coaching DVD (Laser, Topper and Mirror) as necessary, swapping advise and tips and the like.

Then after lunch we can get out on the water and do some short course fleet racing with separate starts for each fleet to represent ‘Open Meeting’ type conditions and see where we go from there.

John Goodyear and I are gathering a fantastic group of ‘Class Experts’ to help out on the day. So currently the team for the day will comprise of the following ;
Topper – Adam Simms
Laser – Pete Slingsby and Adam
Streaker – Clive Wood and John Goodyear
Solo – Bill Wilson
National 12 – Howard Chadwick
Herons / 2 man boats generally – Howard Chadwick
Handicap fleet – Neil, plus support from others depending on the type of boat

Hopefully it will be an informative day and everybody will get something out of it !
