Training Session Structure
Coaching is conducted by experienced 29er coach that has been endorsed by NSW 9er Association. The training program runs for 7 sessions, with each session being 4 hours.
A maximum of 10 sailors per course will be sharing 3 x 29ers, including boats with the smaller XS rig. The sailors rotate on the water and when not sailing are with the coach in the RIB. Training sessions will be a combination of on and off the water training, with the sailors responsible for rigging and de-rigging the 29ers. Sailor's will learn both being a skipper and crew.
