The coaches for the Open training will include Ian Patience (National Youth Squad Head Coach), James Patience & James Dugdale.
The cost of the coaching is £25 per day which does not include any food or accommodation but includes all launch fees, coaching fees, rib hire etc.
For all the dates above (apart from NBYC) the Eastern Area Development Squad Coaching will also be coaching at the same venue as a separate squad. The 2 days at NBYC will concentrate on team racing which will improve boat handing, racing rules & keeping eyes outside the boat.
 
Please note that like all ITCA training, a parent will either need to be present at the sailing club at all times or else another parent will have to be acting in loco parentis on your behalf. It is also important that sailors wear the correct sailing gear (ideally a dry suit) because some of the training will take place during very cold winter months. If you have any questions relating to suitable gear, please ask.
 
You will need to be a member of ITCA to join the squad. Here is a link to the form - which needs to be sent to the secretary Susan Wellerd.

 

Please complete this form and send it to Sally Dugdale (07786085518) a.s.a.p.

 

The programme will start at 9.30 with boats fully rigged & sailors in their keep fit gear. The finishing time will be dependant on the amount of daylight.

Please remember note pads & pens are essential coaching equipment as top sailors keep their notes to refer back to throughout their sailing career. You will also need to ensure you have clothing suitable for the weather conditions.
