Brett Beyer Saturday Sailing Program

Kirk Marcolina

The Brett Beyer Saturday Sailing Program is confirmed.  We are very excited to launch this new initiative, starting 14 October.  Get ready to see some laser speed records broken.

We will email details this week for payment via TryBooking to those people who have signed up.  Fees need to be paid by Friday 22 September to allow Brett to confirm and order GPS units. We have 22 participants confirmed, comprising 10 Individual GPS participants ($900), 9 Group GPS participants (price reduced to $450) and 3 No-GPS participants ($300), across 12 standard rigs and 10 radials.

The program will run for 10 consecutive weeks (except as follows) commencing 14 October 2017.  The program will not be conducted on 21 October (Coast Championships), 18 November (State Championships), 23 December, 30 December, 6 January, 13 January or 20 January (holidays).  It will recommence after holidays on 27 January.  Other weeks may also be excluded by notification to participants*.

Inclusions*:
·         Individual GPS – limited on-water feedback upon sailing to the coach boat post finish, group debrief post-race, individual report including leg-by-leg GPS-based individual tactical analysis vs. the winner, and selected individual technical comments
·         Group GPS – limited on-water feedback upon sailing to the coach boat post finish, group debrief post-race, group report including GPS-based leg-by-leg snapshot of the whole fleet and general comments on overall preferred tactics, and selected individual technical comments
·         No GPS – limited on-water feedback upon sailing to the coach boat post finish, group debrief post-race, short group report (no GPS analysis) containing a race overview, and selected individual technical comments


* Notes: The program is conducted by Brett Beyer Sailing and all contractual arrangements are between the participant and Brett Beyer Sailing. Double Bay Sailing Club disclaims all liability, including liability for negligence. The program will run for 10 consecutive weeks except as notified.  Brett Beyer Sailing reserves the right to skip particular weeks at its discretion for reasons that may include, without limitation, conflicting coaching responsibilities, competition events, holiday periods and weather. If a week is skipped at the option of Brett Beyer Sailing, the program will be extended to ensure participants receive a 10-week program. If a participant is unable to attend a particular week when the program is conducted, the participant forfeits that week's entitlement and Brett Beyer Sailing does not have to make good. Any sample reports are indicative only and Brett Beyer Sailing does not warrant the form or content and accepts no liability if the form or content differs. Brett Beyer Sailing will record real-time technical observations on various participants using a Dictaphone or other means. However, due to the number of participants, and the practicalities involved with monitoring all participants, Brett Beyer Sailing may not provide individual on-water or written technical comments for each participant each week or at all. Brett Beyer Sailing accepts no responsibility for failure of electronic equipment including a failure to record GPS information, and the resulting inability to provide content that is similar to that shown in any sample reports.
