John Turley of JT Sailsport (D-Zero Northern Area Sales Agent) and Yorkshire Dales SC member has arranged a coaching session at Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club on Sunday 12th April 2015 with RYA Coach Peter Robinson.
This is open to any D-Zeros who wish to take part for a small fee (yet to be disclosed) and to join in club racing later in the day. Feedback from Peter will be given throughout the day with the coaching starting at 9.30AM. Peter coached his sons who and went on to win European/World Championship at junior level in the Mirror, so he knows how to teach old dogs new tricks.
The coaching will be joining with other club boats as well due to the small home fleet of D-Zeros (so far) but it will make for realistic starting practice in a mixed fleet.
Hot lunch meal deal for £4.95 at midday, luxury clubhouse with underfloor heating! (Ed's note: I can vouch for this their clubhouse is amazing and the club is in the prettiest location I have had the pleasure of sailing at).
This may also serve as some good location specific practice for those wish to attend the D-Zero Inland Championships later on in the year which are being hosted by Yorkshire Dales SC.
There will also be the opportunity to try a D-Zero if you have not had a go and wish to see what all the fuss is about. More details can be found here.
Plenty of chat on our Facebook group.
