Race Training Programme

Sailing - Race Training

Over the years Fivestar Sailing is proud of its racing record. This is no small part due to this Race Training program.

Whether inshore or offshore racing, we can help you put a team together on your own boat or, if would like to join a team to get more racing experience we can put a program together for you.

The Race Training program is tailored depending on the experience of the crews taking part and whether the course is inshore racing or an offshore series such as a ‘Fastnet’ program.

We take part in a number of events throughout the year including the Warsash Spring and Hamble Winter Series. In the run up to each series we have ‘Race Training’ Weekends and where possible some of the practise sessions are video recorded to provide feedback for debrief sessions after the sailing.

The Spring and Winter series races take place on Sundays and we normally undertake race training on the first two or three Saturdays during the course of each Series. We recommend taking part in the races as it gives you opportunity to put what you learn into practise.
