BACK TO FRONT TRAINING DAY | 12 September

We’re looking forward to our upcoming Back to Front Keelboat & Dinghy Training, designed to focus first on knowledge and communication, and then put it straight into practice on the water. This is mainly applicable to racing, but much of the theory will be useful to cruising as well.

Important Notes:

  • To get the most out of the training sessions, teams are encouraged to arrive with full crews where possible. 
  • If you don’t have a full crew, please still come along. We may combine crews or move people between boats on the day. 
  • Please RSVP if you are planning to attend, so we have a good idea of numbers in advance. 
  • Experienced members who are happy to volunteer as coaches or support less-experienced teams are very welcome. 
  • If you are able to help with coaching or on-the-water support, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly. 

We look forward to seeing everyone back at the Club and on the water for the start of the new  season.
