(Dartmouth, England)- Like their French and Spanish counterparts, the
J/80 UK sailors are starting to "dial-up" their training programs this
spring. Four training weekends are planned for the UK fleet after
Easter. They will include coaching for the fleet, tuning, boat handling
practice, race work with the Race Management team for the Worlds and
plenty of really good sailing. It starts on 28-29 April in the Solent
then transfers down to Dartmouth for the last three weekends of May.The Baltic Wharf J/80 Training Program is precisely that: A coaching program which will be led by RYA/Olympic Sailing Coach Jim Saltonstall. It’s a series of training weekends designed to offer those skippers and crews who take part a real step up in performance in advance of the Worlds and a chance to learn the waters in which the regatta will be fought. One of the two final weekends will take place with the PRO and the full race team in attendance. If you'd like to learn more about how to sail the one-design J/80 faster, please contact Becci Eplett (becci@keyyachting.com) at J/UK Key Yachting Group in Southampton, England.
