Team Ireland Sponsor Windsport Coaching.
Windsport performance catamaran coach ‘Brian Phipps’ headed up the Datchet SC coaching session sponsored by Ireland’s Spitfire youth team sailing. The weekend focused on the many aspects of communication, critical to the success of any team . Light winds created challenges the sailors had not experienced for some time and the structured exercises, tested teams to the limits and was followed up with debriefs and exchange of techniques to helped broaden individual knowledge.
Coaching is the natural stepping stone to improved performance. Windsport’s professional catamaran coaching team, deliver to clubs , classes, national squads and individual teams in the UK and much further abroad. For more information contact the Windsport team
Hong Kong Windsport Coaching.
Windsport coaching moved to Hong Kong for a few weeks in November working with a host of catamaran
sailing teams from the two major catamaran clubs in the region. The intensive coaching sessions took place from Lantau Boat Club on the beach at Discovery Bay a short ferry ride from Hong Kong Island. A series of group and individual coaching sessions were on offer leading up to the main catamaran regatta event of the year in the region. The range of catamarans sailing in Hong Kong requires a broad depth of knowledge in numerous types of boats, Hobie 16, Dart18, Nacra Fusion, Hobie Tiger, Nacra 500 and a few others, something that Windsport delivers. Such was the success of the Windsport coaching there is a plan to do it all again early in 2012 while the wind still blows! Windsport has been providing specialist catamaran coaching in the region for over 12 years, working with a number of sailors who have gone on to sail at world class events with medal success.

Winter Training for Alex and Rory the IRL youth catamaran racing team
Windsport coaching start winter training program with IRL youth catamaran team.
After a few months break the IRL youth catamaran racing team “Alex and Rory”, have agreed a coaching program with Windsport coaching to deliver a series of coaching
days and event support sessions. The teams goal is the forth coming ISAF Youth Worlds taking place in Ireland 2012 however between now and then there are a series of interim target events around Europe to provide them with invaluable experience on the race course.
The team have struggled to find like mined young sailors in Ireland to train with so working with Windsport they have planned a series of training and event sessions in the UK. The team are working hard on their boat handling skills back at home with input from Windsport and then travel to UK training and open meeting events as a way to progress their experience.
The recent catamaran open at Weston Sailing Club (Southampton Water) was just one of those events. Supported by Brian Phipps from Windsport the team had their first experience of intense catamaran fleet racing, relishing the opportunity to measure their techniques and skills against other similar boats. The learning curve was high with the opportunity to watch some of the top European catamaran sailors on the same course just what the team came for going away with new ideas and a measure of their current performance .
