Training Weekends
Race training on either Venomous or Incisor will go into all aspects of sailing these exciting yachts. You will get the opportunity to try all aspects and crewing positions on board the boat from helming to fore deck to trimming.
Sailing these yachts is very much a team effort, therefore there is a place for all abilities to learn new skills and expand on those skills already learnt.
The itinerary for the weekend is to arrive in Cowes either on Friday night at your leisure, then you may sleep on the boat, or you may arrive early Saturday morning.
Once everyone has arrived, the skipper and crew will show you around the yacht and give a full safety brief.
The aim during the day is to get as much action in as possible, with crew changing positions throughout the day, with the course set to go around the Isle of Wight.
The course will not only take us into clear water but whatever the direction of the wind you will be able to experience all points of sail, from upwind to the exhilarating reaches. You do not have to have any sailing experience prior to the weekend but it helps if you are relatively fit and enthusiastic.
