Alistair Dickson to coach at RS100 Nationals
Great News! Al Dickson has agreed to run the Nationals coaching session, and bookings are now being taken with Nationals entries.
The session will take place on Wednesday 16th Sept, the day before Championship racing commences at Royal Torbay Yacht Club.
"I was lucky enough to become the RS100 8.4 World Champion back in 2013 and Winter Champion in 2014 and 2015", says Al, "I was 2nd in last years’ nationals and, within the RS100 fleet, usually go by the nickname ‘nipper’! Despite still being a teenager (apparently), I have managed to squeeze into my youth some years of coaching British and Welsh squads and teams in all classes, but mostly Lasers and Toppers.
I’m currently the Welsh High Performance Sailing Manager which includes coaching sailors all the way from junior up to Olympic potential squads. I intend to make the day light hearted, fun and informative and provide those who are new to the class with some ‘capsize reducing’ and speed enhancing pointers which I was lucky enough to receive from the more ‘experienced’ members of the class when I started (mostly Greg Booth and the Class Chairman). Those that know me, know that it’s easier said than done (especially with regards to the capsize reducing) but I can vouch for the fact that they make the RS100 much more manageable and fun to race!"
Please help us with our planning and sign up for the coaching and the Nationals early here
