ILCA sailing and the way champions sail downwind has changed a lot in the last 15 years and there are still massive gains to be had in most sailors’ downwind technique.
In our most popular clinic, we’ll tow 11 miles up the coast in the morning and sail downwind in warm, champagne sailing conditions all the way back to ISA every day for 6 days.
That’s more downwind practice than your average sailor gets in a decade!
You’ll work on crucial body positions for all wind conditions, sail setup and sheet tensions, capsize prevention, identifying conditions and applying the correct technique for each, pressing, wave catching, surfing, setup turns, light wind speed secrets, staying legal/rule 42, wave skew identification & technique, downwind strategy & tactics, roll jibes, lee to lee jibes, heavy air jibes and more.
