We offer a Race Development Sailing Course and Training...
Race Development
Experience Level: Intermediate
Cost: £495.00 per person
Duration: Five consecutive days (Includes Easter Monday)
During the five days you will learn all the basic manoeuvres of racing including the different types of kite hoists and drops and when they would be used. There is a big emphasis on teamwork and the role of each crew member. The course is predominantly practical but there will be an element of class work looking at the principles and theory of racing.
The course is carefully structured to encourage a progressive development of everyone’s knowledge and skills. We will concentrate on starting techniques, upwind performance, mark roundings, kite hoists, kite drops, gybing, downwind performance and the basic rules. By the end of the five days you should be familiar with all the positions aboard a race boat and the interaction between the members of the team.
This course is perfect for anyone who has done a small amount of racing or even our Intro to Racing course and want to develop their skills further. If you feel that you want to gain a better overall understanding of racing and all the manoeuvres then this course is ideal.
