We are fortunate to have two excellent local coaches head up the program: Conor OâBeirne will be running the 4.7âs 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 4.7âs and potentially 2 in the radials.
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.
The program is open to all full and cadet members of either RIYC, RSGYC or NYC with boat parking paid.
