(La Trinite Sur Mer, France)- Ever wonder why the Spanish and French
teams continue to get stronger and stronger every year and the talent
level in their fleets overall continue to improve significantly? The
British J/80 teams understand the problem, and do a lot of training with
their RYA Coaches at various venues.
The Trinitaine J/80 fleet is conducting their 3rd edition of the
Challenge J/80 Trinite over five weekends in the winter/ spring-
February 12/13 and 26/27 - 12/13 and 26/27 March - 9 / 10 April. It's a
great program with specific training targeted on Saturdays and
race-training on Sundays. Afterwards, the entire training class goes to
a debriefing at the "Cafe Zing"/ Internet Bar for video and tactical
review. Most importantly, to improve training, they're trying a new
method for tracking via mobile phones. Go here to check out the iSea 3D program for ANY SmartPhone. Or, for Apple iPhone's Sailboat Tracking app, you can go to iTunes. For more information regarding J/80 sail-training in La Trinite Sur Mer, France.
