Race Development - Intermediate Race Training
Once you have some racing experience, this 3-day course
will really help you hone your skills, learn how to
anticipate the next move, and give you a racing edge. Suitable for
both inshore and offshore sailors, this course would be perfect for
anyone competing in Cork Week, our Inshore Campaign or the Round Ireland
Campaign.
Throughout the course you'll get to rotate roles to experience
the different positions and understand how they all work together.
There will be a big emphasis on race focus and the mindset
required to win races.
Each morning starts with classroom-based theory session, before
heading out onto the water to put what you've just covered into
practice! Then the day draws to a close with an evening debrief,
including video footage.
By the end of the course you will feel more
confident as a crew member, capable of helping to
drive a winning race performance!
The syllabus will make the most of the weather at the time, but
aims to cover:
- Perfecting spinnaker hoists
and drops and mark roundings
- Upwind sail trim for speed
and height after tacking / rounding
- Establishing line bias, use
of transits and starting procedures
- Race focus and performance
mindset
- Weight distribution on the
boat for speed in different wind conditions
- Key racing rules and
strategy, race preparation and top 10 race winning tips!
-
- There is so much to learn that many people come back and do the
course again!
After completing this course, why not put your new skills into
practice in the Caribbean in Heineken St Maarten Regatta
or the exciting Cork
Week!
If you haven't any prior yacht racing experience, our Introduction to Racing
