This is Session 2 of IOCA North Winter Training
This day will run with volunteer coaches to reduce costs
IOCA North are running a series of training events over winter 2023/24. There are 4 single day sessions targeted at those who are regatta fleet sailors. These will be run in parallel to the RYA Regional Training Group. There will also be two weekends of open training for all Oppy sailors whatever level you are.
Dates
Regatta Fleet sailors:
Saturday 09 November 2023 Derwent Reservoir SC
Saturday 07 December 2024 Leigh and Lowton SC
Saturday 01 March 2025 Ullswater YC (TBC)
Saturday 29 March South Shields SC
All sailors:
25-26 January 2025 Leigh and Lowton SC
15-16 February 2025 Derwent Reservoir SC
As a minimum sailors taking part must have their own boat or access to one and be able to comfortably sail a triangular course in a range of conditions and be willing to race.
IOCA coaches will lead each session, providing skills development and race training in small groups.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build on the skills you have learnt and gain a head start for next season.
Sailors will be assessed and placed into groups dependent on experience, ability as well as other factors to ensure that the groups provide the best training for all sailors. More advanced sailors will be taught the methods, skills and tactics necessary to take them to the next level when competing against their peers in open events.
For each session, sailors will need to be rigged and ready for 10am, with planned finish by 4pm
Sailors must bring a packed lunch and lots of warm sailing kit, layers, hats and gloves and a racing watch.
We will need support from parents on the water and on shore to help the training day run smoothly.
For this winter training all sailors must be IOCA members. If you are not currently a member, there are two options
Option 1 - IOCA 2025 membership available from 21 October 2024 - expires on 31 Dec 25.
Option 2 - IOCA Event Membership for £3.00 per event entered.
