Pre-Zone Squad Spinnaker Training Winter 18/19
For 2018/19 IOCA South is again running a dual program at Bosham (Sundays) and Spinnaker (Saturdays). Andy Kerr (Head Coach) will be running the same program in both locations, enabling sailors to choose the location/dates that suit them. Note: Sailors must commit to one or other location for all sessions.
The Spinnaker training will consist of 6 days over the Winter on the following Saturdays:
October 27th, December 22nd, January 5th, January 19th, February 23rd, March 30th
Please note these dates have changed slightly from our original plan!
Also included is entry into the Burghfield Regional Training Regatta on 13th April 2019.
The aim is develop and improve the sailors boat skills, experience and confidence such that they can rapidly progress through the IOCA Regatta, and Main fleets the following Spring.
Sailors will be assessed and placed into groups dependent on experience, ability as well as other factors to ensure that the groups provide the best training for all sailors. As a practical minimum children taking part must have their own boat and be able to comfortably sail a triangular course in a range of conditions and be willing to race on the water. More advanced sailors, will be taught the methods, skills and tactics necessary to take them to the next level when competing against their peers in open events and then challenge for a place in the zone squads the following Autumn.
You must be a member of IOCA to enter, and you will be asked to provide your membership number during checkout. If you are not yet a member, click here to join.
Payment is for the full 6 days. Note: priority is given based on date of payment, not on date the order is placed. IOCA South training is usually oversubscribed, so please make your payment promptly to guarantee your sailor's place.
