Goals for the Season:
Boat Handling Improvement: Throughout the season, we will focus on refining boat handling skills. Our goal is to ensure that every sailor gain confidence and precision in controlling their boat under varying conditions.
Increased Boat Speed: We will be working on advanced techniques to increase boat speed, including sail trim, weight distribution, and understanding the effects of wind shifts.
Better Starts & Finishes: A successful race starts with a strong, controlled start, and ends with a strategic finish. We will spend time improving timing, positioning, and executing race strategies to optimize our results.
Race Planning: One of the most crucial aspects of sailing is knowing the course, anticipating wind changes, and planning ahead. We will incorporate more focus on pre-race strategy and tactical decision-making to ensure you are prepared for every race.
Race Psychology Preparation: will prepare you to deal with any stress associated with racing and will help you visualize better maneuvers.
