Downwind Clinics

Our Downwind Clinics will concentrate on the art of sailing down wind in a Laser, which is what separates the men from the boys…! SailCoach prides itself on our ability to improve downwind speed, you don’t have to be the most gifted sailor to understand what makes a Laser go fast downwind.

After you have that understanding the rest is practice, practice and more practice. We give you this under the watchful eye of our coaches and with the help of video analysis you can see where to improve upon your downwind technique.

Our coaches will look at the principles behind:-

·        Sail Trim

·        Crew weight positioning

·        Steering to get the most out of waves

·        Sailing by the lee/downwind angles

·        The Rules and downwind sailing

·        Downwind tactics
