Pre Season Warm Ups
The aim of the Pre Season Warm Up is to get you back in a boat or an a board, blow away the cobwebs, get some top tips from a Dinghy Coach/Windsurf Trainer on your personal sailing skills. The day is only open to instructors (including assistant instructors) so you can relax, make the odd mistake, possibly get wet and not feel too daft! The difference between this day and the Instructor Conference is that this day is all about your sailing skills, the Conference is about your Coaching skills. Take your pick, or do both!
There are a variety of sessions running: you can do the same thing all day or try something new in the afternoon. When you book we will need to know what sessions you want to do. Your booking will only be confirmed once we have payment. The cost of the day is £10/person.
The day will run from 0930 – 1700.
