Optimist Highfliers Clinic
Optimist Highfliers Clinic
As our normal SailBase Island is having some refurbishment work done this winter, therefore we have moved our SailBase down the coast a little towards Marseille in the town of Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer. As it has a lot of what Embiez has to offer, re sailing conditions and life in this Provence town is lived at a slow pace....
Optimist Highfliers Clinic
The clinic is designed to help improve boat preparation with the most recent developments in the class, sail settings and advanced boat handling skills including roll-tacking, roll-gybing and mark roundings. The Optimist Highfliers Clinic will look hard at developing both Upwind and Downwind speed with extensive use of video analysis.
Pre Clinic Entry Experience
The focus of this five day Optimist Highfliers Clinic is to provide a platform for sailors who have been active in their national youth sailing circuits.
SailCoach believes strongly in the multi-national training concept and this one week of hard training will give sailors the opportunity to push themselves hard against competitors from other countries.
It will also provide young sailors with the opportunity to be coached by the most experienced Optimist coaches available, including coaches who have been coaching National Teams at Optimist World Championships.
The clinics daily schedule will combine classroom lessons with on the water exercises offering healthy competition and is followed up with debrief of tactical and strategy situations. Sailors will receive individual attention both on the water and with video analysis.
