Windsport Personal Catamaran coaching in full swing

The Windsport "Cat Clinic" personal catamaran coaching program is in full swing in the run up to the start of the season. Over the last few weeks sailors from abroad and the UK have been travelling to Windsport to sharpen their skills ready to do battle on the water.

The "Windsport" international coaching program operates all over the world but the sailors still choose to come to the Windsport coaching centre here in Cornwall to absorb the very personal coaching we can offer. Sailors from Hong Kong, Middle East, UK south coast are just a few on the list. Those who come from warmer climes have found the temperature bracing on occasions but that has not stopped them kitting up and getting out there.

Over the next few months the Windsport "Cat Clinic" coaching team will be visiting a number of clubs in the UK and venues abroad delivering a comprehensive range of coaching support.

Winter action at Windsport

The days may be short but we cram a lot in! Lots has been happening over the winter with an increasing amount of personal catamaran training, bringing on sailors skills ready for the new season. Landyachting has been the other full on activity, what ever your age and even with no sailing skills you can get going in no time at all, you keep dry and it is Fun! Kevin in the picture had never sailed before he went landyachting but within an hour was in one of the fast yachts doing his stuff.

Our long association with Dart 18 catamaran has come a full circle so working with the original designers of the boat we will be supplying new boat and replacement parts for a very active and competitive sailing class world wide.

The performance boat repairs side of the business has seen a steady stream of work, especially if the owner forgot to tie the boat down during the last winter gale!

As for the spring we are gearing up the centre, with new equipment, additional boat parking areas and services so keep in touch with the Windsport team that will be out and about.
