SailCoach - “making you better”

Come and share our passion and enthusiasm for racing small boats, and be inspired to achieve the best that you can both on, and off, the water.

SailCoach has been at the forefront of Laser sailing since 1996 and our founder, Trevor Millar, has been coaching Lasers and other small boats since 1972. With our team of experienced coaches, we provide young people with skills training, mentoring and inspiration to become the world class racing sailors of tomorrow.

We work hard at “making you better” in the following ways:

Training Camps & Clinics

Our Clinics teach specific skills and techniques over a number of days, while Base Camps provide sailors with the environment to reinforce these through practise over an extended period.

Coaching Tours

Support at Graded events in Europe and around the world can greatly improve your performamce and we travel to many graded and youth events in the Laser Standard, Radial and 4.7 classes.

Three SailBases

You can sail at any of our three training bases, one on Lake Garda which we use in the warmer months, another in Malta for when the weather in northern Europe gets colder, and our newest base in Oman.

Expert Coaching

Every coach has their own unique blend of experience and perspective, and will bring a slightly different approach to the job. With a combined experience of 15 Olympic Games: you have access to a variety of coaching techniques that you won't get anywhere else.

More Classes Than Anyone Else

We work with Optimist sailors, Laser 4.7, Radial and Standard Youth sailors, Olympic aspirants in the Laser Standard and Radial classes, Laser Masters and even Finn sailors. Each class has their own requirements, and we have the experience and resources to help you to succeed.

Campaign Management

Many sailors, particularly those from smaller federations, need more than just training and regatta support: they need help to ensure that their campaign is as effective as possible and, crucially, makes the best use of available resources. Our experience allows us to provide expert and comprehensive advice to athletes and their federations.

Mentoring

Success in sport requires a combination of physical ability and mental discipline. Athletes must have the drive to push themselves hard in training, the hunger to succeed in competition and the self-belief to continue despite failure. We help our athletes to develop the skills necessary to be successful.

Life Skills

The SailCoach philosophy is based around the development of the athlete as a whole, where success is achieved when you realise your personal potential, whatever that may be. The skills you develop and the experience you gain will be of benefit far beyond the realms of the boat park.

Whether you are a young sailor with an Olympic dream or a Laser Master looking to get better, we have something for you. We have taken good club sailors from Optimists, Lasers and other boats and made them Olympians. We have also helped others at all levels in our sport to become better racers with great life skills.
