The Dun Laoghaire Youth Laser training program will be run as a collaboration between RSGYC and NYC.
We are fortunate to have two excellent local coaches head up the program: Conor O’Beirne will be running the 4.7’s and we have Nicole Hemeryck on the Radials. We intend grouping sailors to maintain a coach:sailor ratio of around 6 and expect to have around 3 groups in the 4.7’s and potentially 2 in the radials.
A group of up to 30 sailors will allow for “big fleet” coaching and also bring a social aspect to the program.
Modules
The program comprises 4 modules which are elective – sailors can pick and choose between the following modules
| Module | Dates | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Base Program | 9 Sundays (Sept- Nov) | €229 |
| 2: Weekend Clinic | Oct 6-7 | €52 |
| 3: Mid-term Clinic | Oct 29-Nov 2 | €142 |
| 4: Christmas regatta | Nov 24-25 | TBC |
| 5: UK NE Youth Championship Yorkshire Dales SC | Nov 3-4 | TBC |
The program is designed for sailors who, at minimum, have competed in regional events (in any boat) and intend to participate in the regional laser circuit in 2019. The program will be managed by our coaches and they will be the first point of contact. The overall philosophy of the group is that it is sailor driven and not parent driven.
