Catriona likewise keen to do as much training as possible so?definitely interested in doing stuff with?Ben Ibbotsen.??Just to clarify,??I take it that current 29er sailors would be doing Ben’s coaching instead of the Academy?-??so we shouldn’t book onto?the Academy if we’re there for the whole weekend.

Hi all,

Tummel Week booking and full details available via website.? They're expecting it to be busy this year so I'd book a tent space soon.

I've also provisionally arranged for Ben Ibbotson to come along to do some coaching, one to one on the water sessions, boat fettling, fitness, nationals prep, measurement issues etc.? I know no one will book just now but can folk please confirm if they're up for that so I can confirm it all with him. He's definitely not intending to be doing it full time, there's got to be lots of fun, paddle board towing races etc in between times as well so it will be pretty flexible.? Costs I reckon at ?60 each sailor for the 7 days, it might go up or down a wee bit depending on numbers so if you can please let me know if you think it's a good idea please!!

For those in this group that are just transitioning there's options of RYAS academy with Gillies Munro over weekend at start of Tummel Week or class organised transition coaching part time for five days throughout week.? We've got at least 3 charter boats that other transitioning sailors can use for these training events, weekend will be full time, for week itself 2 pairs will share a boat. The intention is they'll do the actual Tummel Week races in their own, parents or pals boat.

All the options should no be live on the 29er website.? The transition options are all booked per sailor so that they don't need? a pal to come along.? The race training is per boat.

Cheers

Bear
