I am happy to let you all know that we will once again be running Winter Race Training this year, albeit with some changes. The on the water element of the training will be largely similar to previous years, focussing on one element per session and consolidating this through races.
The shore based elements have invariably taken a knock due to COVID. Details for this are still being finalised, but will be circulated upon booking. It is likely that the safety briefing will be a virtual one, with finer details being covered on the day. This reduces any need for unnecessary time spent ashore and as such helps us maintain our COVID security.
The dates for race training are as follows:
- 11 October
- 18 November
- 13 December
- 10 January
- 7 February
- 14 March
- 11 April
All sessions run from 9am -1pm with the exception of 11 October which will run from 2pm-5pm.
Booking for these sessions will open on the Monday before the event is due to take place.
Club boats will be available to hire: 4 Club Toppers, 4 Zests and 2 Club 2ks.
In addition to needing a keen group of sailors, we also need volunteers to help this event run! If you can volunteer, please do so on Dutyman.
Best,
Will Derries
Chief Instructor
