Receive top-level regatta coaching from ISA during your regatta. Each day we’ll provide a forecast, wind and current readings and develop a strategical briefing taking geographical and local conditions into effect. From there we’ll help you tune up pre-race and give you any last-minute tips before racing begins.
We’ll record your roundings and give you a quick synopsis and notes for the next race. We’ll bring all your supplies in the boat, spare parts, and any other items so they’re always available for you. At the end of the day, we’ll debrief the racing to prepare you for the next day.
We will sail out of Cascade Locks, Oregon. We launch off the eastern beach of the Columbia River Gorge Racing Association (CGRA). See map below or more info at: http://cgra.org/visitorinfo.htm.
See guidelines on map above.
We’ll start with a technical briefing at 10:00am each morning. Usually briefings are about an hour and then we’ll hit the water for about 2.5 -3 hours depending on the timing of the breeze filling in and the daily objectives.The wind is oftentimes windy in excess of 20 knots but generally will have a gradual build throughout the session. We’ll complete on water drills to achieve the daily goals and may run some practice races as well. Afterwards we’ll come in and begin the debrief right away which will include answers to any questions about the days theme and may also include video analysis. We recommend packing lunch or snack to eat during the debrief. We will end each day between approximately 4:30 and 5:00 depending on wind conditions.
