Winter Coaching has been enthusiastically supported by three groups.
- Adult: Alan Bryson, Stephen Fisher ,Andrew Stevens, Wendy Wilson [Somers] Matt O’Neill, Bernie Rich and Ed Donnelly;
- Youth Laser (when study and YV activities allow): Alex Jurovic, Eleonor Rich, David Wilson [Somers] and Vincent Cross; and
- Tackers: Millie Harvey ,Lulu Harvey and Jack [Mnt Martha].
Our morning starts with up to one hour theory with Robbie Lovig, our head coach. This is in the club house with discussion and white board graphics. This brings us together as an inclusive , cross generational group.
We can then spend up to 30 minutes rigging boats [theirs or ours] and critique rigs.
We then hit the water with a coach for each group. Robbie is mainly assigned to the adult group; Alex ,when available, Youth Laser; Xavier and / or Wil Palmer for Tackers. All coaches can interchange or fill in as required. Eleonore and Vincent are qualified and can fill in if available.
A starting line and short course are set up and a series of starts and course completions coached. Focus is on start positioning, course technique and sail trimming.
Assessment sheets are completed for each sailor and emailed during the week.
The program has now run for four fortnightly sessions with the fifth cancelled due to weather.
The next session is 9am Sunday July 13 and there’s room for more sailors. For $30 you’ll have lots of fun, lots of learning and lots of friends. Ring Lynn 0403 741 471 or Xavier 0438 051 466 .
