Work with former Australian Sailing Team athlete Luke “Swifto” Elliott to take your ILCA speed and handling to the next level. This clinic follows the same high-volume Speed & Handling framework used in Vaughn Harrison’s program, with Swifto leaning into the Australian Sailing Team training method he developed through years inside one of the world’s strongest ILCA programs.
Coaching format will include deliberate practice in upwind and downwind speed, technical/practical theory, boat handling, and in-depth video review. A large emphasis will be placed on boatspeed nuances, repeatable technique models, and the disciplined training habits used by Australian Sailing Team athletes.
Swifto has trained under renowned Australian coaches Arthur Brett and 3x Olympic Gold Medal coach Michael Blackburn for over a decade. He was training partner to Olympic Gold Medalist Tom Burton and now trains with Olympic Gold Medalist Matt Wearn. He brings that proven Australian system to ISA sailors in an epic volume of training over 6 days in La Cruz.
