Sailing Regatta Weeks

Sessions and clinics
Each morning there will be demonstrations of techniques by our expert waterfront team. Clinics and sessions designed to teach and improve racing techniques are offered throughout the week.
Debriefs
Clinics are tailored to the days events on the water and key areas of racing. After each session on the water there will be group debriefs on what has been practiced and learnt.
Q&A sessions
Each evening, the "official" race team will be hosting a Q&A session at the beach bar, as well as sharing sailing stories of the day.

There will be an array of races from fun races to a morning and afternoon series of races including singlehanded fleet racing, handicapped racing and at the end of the week the Mark Warner 'Big Race'.

Racing is spread across the week and will be run both in the mornings and afternoons ensuring everyone has the opportunity to take part and compete - in addition to fitting around any other activities or childcare requirements.
Feel free to dip in and out as much or as little of the racing as you like, signing up in the morning for that day’s racing events.
