Itchenor Sailing Club OPEN TRAINING

30/01/2021 - 31/01/2020

Dear Feva Sailors,

 

Itchenor Sailing Club is hosting Open Winter Training for the Feva Class Association which aims

to help youth sailors from Chichester and Langstone Harbours and the local area to progress

from club run RYA training to become confident racers. In particular, to support Feva sailors who

are keen to be more competitive at local, regional and national sailing events.  By creating a

an inclusive squad, children train and socialise together, making new friends from other clubs. 

.

Coaching will take place over six weekends in 2020/21 based at Itchenor Sailing Club.  Each

weekend will consist of personalised sessions on the Saturday to improve a sailor’s racing skills.

A coached race day will follow on Sunday where new skills mastered can be put into practice in

races. Training will be led by Matt Wright (Matt is an experienced RYA Level 3 Race Coach

who has developed young sailors to success at a number of harbour clubs) and specialist race

coaches with experience of competing at a national level. Subject to numbers, the squad will

split into groups on the Saturday so that sailors of similar ability train together, before racing

against each other on the Sunday.

Entry requirements:  We ask that all sailors at a minimum are confident in tacking, gybing, righting

their boat after a capsize and sailing a windward/leeward course. For those who have followed the

RYA Training Scheme this equates to a minimum level for applicants of RYA Level 3 with

experience of racing or to have an RYA start racing qualification; young sailors with the ability but

without these awards are equally welcome. Sailors will provide their own insured seaworthy boats

and will come equipped to sail in the colder conditions expected over winter

 

Training cost: £500/per boat or £250/per sailor for all of the training sessions.  (It would typically

cost £100 per weekend/per boat, so this winter training is priced at six sessions for the price of five.

Great value for excellent winter training.)

 

Boat Storage:  Non ISC members can store their boats at the club for £10/night over a Saturday

night or £140 for the months between Nov 1 and March 1.  

 

Meals:  Food will be available at the club (for an additional cost) if ordered in advance, and we

are hoping to organise a social at the end of the training, tbc.
