Training plays an important role at Double Bay Sailing Club, and we continue to run programs that help new members enjoy the excitement of racing, as well as providing opportunities for existing members to participate in training squads, helping with fleet compression. In addition to that, the Annual Competency Training session that we run helps us manage safety, race management, and maintaining club equipment. It allows our membership to work together to provide quality racing.
Comments from the survey encouraged us to continue to guide members that are new to racing, and run clinics to improve sailing skills, strategy, and tactics. Also improving member knowledge of Sailing Rules like during mark rounding and race starts.
Our ongoing Learn to Race program run by Martin White was highly rated in the survey as being important for introducing new members to the club and then continuing to help them improve and build confidence. Our partnership with the Brett Beyer Sailing program has been successful in providing advanced skills and tactics to sailors of all levels.
During the year, member and trainer Sylvie Stannage ran The Women's Regatta Training Squads in the lead up to the regatta, which helped to fine tune skills and build confidence and increase participation. We intend to announce some new Youth Training initiatives early in the new year so watch this space. It continues to be a priority for the club to involve members in training programs to provide them with the opportunity to grow and improve.
