Training...

When coaching, the simulator has several advantages over 'real life'...

You can freeze the action.....
- You can stop the 'boat' in mid-tack to point out an error
- You can freeze the action every 30 seconds before a start sequence
- You can stop short of a mark rounding to discuss options

Indoor sailing is more controlled environment
- Your coach is not shouting from a RIB, he is standing at your shoulder
- You can practice without wearing full winter kit
- You can practice manoeuvres many times over in a short space of time

The simulator records rudder angle, speed, heel, and sailing angle.....
- You can print out data for every half second of a completed session
- The simulator can show the speed you 'made good' to windward (VMG)
- You can see how long it took to regain full speed after each tack


Start Racing...

We run occasional start racing sessions for young sailors who already have some sailing experience and who want to start racing.  The subjects we cover include:

- How races are organised
- Where and how to sit in a boat
- Starting strategy for beginners
- The most important racing rules
- Introduction to race strategy
- How to sail your boat fast
- What to do when you get close to another boat

We aim to give sailors the confidence to have a go at racing and give them enough knowledge to keep out of trouble.

Sessions are orgainsed as and when we have the time, usually on Saturday mornings, and always at our base in Lymington. Sessions are 'stand-alone', informal and free of charge.

Next training days will be in April  -  watch this space for details
