SAILFIT Coaching and Lessons

Regatta Coaching

Coaching at regattas focuses on pre-race preparation, on the water tune-up, race strategy and development of tactics. We provide morning and evening briefing and debriefing sessions to review performance and make any changes needed to improve your performance. You will learn what is most important in each area of a race and what to focus on. This will help you to stay clear-headed and rise to your next level of performance.

Each sailor participating in SAILFIT's regatta coaching program receives a write-up on the highlights of the event and a personal Strengths and Weaknesses report.

Individual Coaching Sessions

Individual coaching sessions can be a two-fold process or you can just focus on the aspect you feel you need the most help with.

* Sailing: We focus on boat handling, starting and rounding marks and include lessons on strategy and tactics. We provide practical experience as well as classroom discussions so come prepared to take part in practice drills and races. By sailing with a pro( Kurt Taulbee) you quickly learn the skills needed to improve your sailing and the maneuvers start to become second nature to you. If you make sure you follow-up by practicing what we show you, you'll feel completely in tune with your boat and perform at a much higher standard.
* Fitness: This helps you develop and implement a fitness regime to increase your performance while sailing. You will participate in stretching and workout sessions and are offered the chance to work out with a pro (Meka Taulbee). These sessions will provide you with the foundations necessary to a fitter, healthier lifestyle.

Private Lessons

Lessons are available for individuals or groups. They are customized to your specific needs and sailing level. Whether it is leaning how to rig your boat or get off the start line better we can help. Here you can work on both sailing and fitness or just focus on your sailing skills.
