SAILFIT Seminars and Coaching

Seminars

Our seminars comprise two elements:

• 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 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 a seminar 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 morning and afternoon stretching sessions and are offered the chance to work out with a pro. These sessions will provide you with the foundations necessary to a fitter, healthier lifestyle.

SAILFIT customizes each seminar to the specific requirements of the group. A seminar could be as simple as a weekend focusing on the basic aspects of sailing and fitness or more detailed, week-long sessions can be planned for a more comprehensive approach. Additional services can be provided - for example, planning and preparing food for you during the course of the seminar. Just let us know what you're interested in and we'll work with you to make sure we meet your every need.

During the seminar we use video analysis to better point out areas that need improvement. During several chalk talks we will review the video and discuss what you have learned. The end of each seminar is followed by a celebration of the achievements made.

Coaching & Lessons

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.

Lessons are available for individuals or groups at a variety of places. They are customized to your specific needs and sailing level. Check our schedule to see when we are at a location near you. Get us on the water with you and see how fast your sailing improves! You won't be disappointed.
