At the National YC, We run Autumn coached training on Saturday afternoons. In order to facilitate to the best of our ability possible other activities/sports, training starts at 13.00 with the daily briefing (rigged and ready unless stated otherwise by the coach) and finishes after debrief is completed around 17.00
As the number of coaches and the groupings directly depends on participation, it is important to get sailors commitment. The focus is to develop skills at the appropriate level of competencies and coaches will use drills appropriate to the level of the sailors, the variability of abilities and boats types. The overall aim is enjoyment, progress and cooperation.
The classes supported by the club: Optimist, Dinghies (Topper, RS Feva, ILCA), Skiffs (29er and 49er FX)
The levels:
– RACE: Race training, EVERY SATURDAY starting on sept 6th and finishing Dec 13th : 300EUR Full programme of up to 13 sessions or 40/session
– PROGRESS: Small boat sailing scheme from Irish Sailing courses syllabus, EVERY SATURDAY starting on sept 6th and finishing Oct 26th: 150EUR Full programme (up to 7 sessions) or 40/session
Coaching team: Head coach: Thomas Chaix, Lead coach Optimist: Alfonso Moreno Perez, Lead coach skiffs: William Walsh, Other coaches (Eoin Byrne, Conor Gorman, Ellie Cunnane, Nicola Ferguson…) will support training
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If paying by session the payment MUST BE completed on the Wednesday prior to the session by lunch time. No exceptions as it is important to ensure the appropriate ratios coach-sailors. Signing up to the full programme is very worthwhile for peace of mind and a significant better value even if a few sessions are missed due to various personal constraints
- To facilitate the ANNUAL LIFT IN, Dinghies must be removed from the NYC platform on Oct 5th at the lastest and can return for training on Oct 18th. THERE WILL BE NO TRAINING on OCT 11th
- Training options on Halloween School holidays will be communicated ASAP: 29er Garda camp and IODAI National training week (Optimist all levels)
- In case of adverse weather, shorebased workshops will be preferred to full afternoon cancellation.
- The PROGRESS group may be able to charter club boats and aims at being an extension of summer courses.
