IODASA is making available a  pay per use, on water regatta coaching support,  for  Open and Intermediate sailors, at the up coming December IODASA SA State Championships, at LBSC.

Unlike Green Fleet, Open and Intermediate sailors can not be assited with technical assistance during a race.  Being out on water can be daunting, particualy in unfamiliar waters.

On water coaching support provides Open and Intermediate sailors with the reassureance  that someone is out on water with them  looking  over their well being and sailing development on water. 

Harry Higgins is the nomminated Instructor

Your sailor will  provided assistance  via :-

• receiving on water coaching between races ( what went well - where to improve- conditions advice etc)
• assistance with minor  equipment failures ( ie minor repairs on water between races)
• experienced technical  coaching on water
• a friendly face 
• coaches can carry sailors extra provisions- food, jackets etc
• briefing and de briefing coach support
• general mustering on land and sea!

This model of on water support is the standard for States , Nationals and International Optimist regattas.

To ensure quality of service delivery- coach ratios will be capped at 8-10 per coach .
