About This Clinic

ISA Coach Namkhai Bourquin leads this Masters Clinic for sailors who want a focused, supportive week of ILCA training in La Cruz.

The clinic is built around practical boat-handling, speed, and race-decision work for masters sailors. Expect clear drills, direct coach feedback, and video-supported debriefs that help sailors make measurable gains without losing the relaxed, friendly tone that makes the masters weeks work so well.

This clinic remains masters-focused, but sailors of all ages and abilities are welcome.
