The “Class Coach and Race Training Manager” can arrange race training for groups where Access dinghies are not currently raced and also coaching for groups who conduct some racing for their Access dinghies and wish to improve skill levels. Sailability Groups seeking race training or coaching should apply to the Access Class Coach as below to negotiate mutually convenient arrangements for one or more days of training. As the current class coach attends most Travellers’ Trophy (TT) meetings, a day of coaching at the venue on the day prior to the TT should be possible. The Class Coach will either conduct the session her/himself or seek other coach/trainers with experience of the Access Class who hold a RYA Race Coach L2 or RYA Senior Instructor qualification. The host Sailability Group will be responsible for all aspects of safety and providing appropriate training facilities, i.e.:- • a room with a whiteboard; Further details can be obtained from the Access Class Coach: Lindsay Burns who is based at Frensham Pond Sailing Club on the Surrey/Hampshire border. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Important Offer to all UK Clubs that race Access Class boats: RYA Sailability Development Coach, Mat Grier, is willing to provide race coaching support, ashore and afloat, to any club that can get at least three competitively minded Sailability sailors together.
