If you want to dramatically improve your Laser sailing in a week then why not join Skandia Team GBR Head Coach Chris Gowers who has coached Paul Goodison since 1998 and helped him to Gold at the 2008 Olympics in China.

Join Ewan McEwan, the man the RYA have given the task of ensuring our girls pick up the medals in Weymouth 2012 on a one week match race training course in Vassiliki.

Even if you’ve not a dedicated match racer you will benefit from an increased understanding of the new 2009-2012 rules as well as gaining tips on boat handling, mark rounding, starting and finishing and defending and at tacking boats nearby. The training will be in SB3’s and Laser 1’s - the first day will be spent familiarizing yourself with the boats and the rest of the week putting principles into practice.

Join Kostas Trigonis and Jordanis Paschalides, the 2008 and 2007 Tornado class European champions. All aspects of cat racing will be covered from tuning and setting up boats for different conditions, advance preparations for regattas, how the new rules affect strategy and tactics, defining a strategy before the start and then reappraising that strategy as the race develops, how to decide which way to go up (or down) a course, best angles up and downwind for varying conditions, mark rounding and so on.

Training will take place on Tornados, Hobie Fox and Hobie Tigers and Hobie 16’s. Join us for 2 weeks and put your new found knowledge into practice at the Vassiliki Watersports Festival ...see below.
