Future Sailors Program Level 1 Block 3

During the practical sessions on the 8th and 9th, sailors will explore the concept of the no-go zone and how it affects boat movement in relation to the wind. They will also work on speed control, learning how to adjust sail settings, body position, and steering to either maximise or reduce speed when needed. These skills are key to improving overall boat handling and confidence in a range of sailing conditions.

The workshop session will focus on focus, concentration, and mindfulness for sailors. Participants will learn techniques to help maintain attention, stay calm under pressure, and make clear decisions while on the water. These mental skills are essential for both performance and enjoyment, particularly as sailing becomes more challenging.

Overall, this week supports sailors in developing both their technical understanding and mental approach, helping them to sail with greater control, awareness, and confidence.
