April 30, 2011RSX and Techno Training
October 9, 2010Just a short note to let you all know the dates and venues for training in around that Sail Down Under events this season.
As part of Yachting Australia’s windsurfing development plan, Brendan Todd will conduct training for Bic Techno 293 and RSX pre Sail Brisbane and Sail Sydney. After Sail Melbourne he will also have a training camp in Melbourne to build on what’s been learnt over the December racing period. After Sail Melbourne will be a good time to assess skills and try some new things leading up to National’s both the OAMPS Australian Youth Championship and RSX and Techno Class Nationals later in the year in QLD at RAYS.
We have been able to bring Sail Melbourne into the fold and have BIC Techno 293 competing alongside other youth and junior classes in the mornings at the World Cup. Now that all the Sail Down Under events will have both Youth and Senior class represented we should be able to make a good spectacle and have a more racing opportunities for developing sailors.
One-page flyer.
Let Brendan know in advance if your planning to come to any of these so that he can be sure to tell the clubs the numbers expected.
Good Sailing,
Brendan Todd
