Following the successful European debut of North U. Regatta Services at the 2014 RORC Easter Challenge the Royal Ocean Racing Club and North Sails announce their continued coaching partnership. North's performance analysis team will be back to offer expert advice at the RORC's three-day training regatta in Cowes this Easter between Friday third to Sunday 5th April 2015.
North U. Regatta Services has been growing over the last four years at regattas in the United States, including over 20 events in 2014. This service provides coaching and performance analysis to all competitors, free of charge, at select events worldwide. The RORC Easter Challenge is one of very few regattas where the rules are altered to allow coaching whilst racing.
Crews taking part are able to seek the advice of a coaching team led for the past 10 years by British coaching guru, Jim Saltonstall. For the second year running, the team will be augmented by North's highly trained sailing performance analysts, Andreas Josenhans and Chuck Allen. Josenhans and Allen will be joined by North sailmakers to run a programme involving on-the-water photo and video capture, followed by daily post-race debriefs on trim, conditions and crew work, held at the RORC Cowes Clubhouse.
On the North Sails stand at the CWM FX London Boat Show, RORC CEO, Eddie Warden Owen welcomed the continued coaching partnership in this popular and unique regatta: 'This is a regatta where racing is coupled with training and we fully appreciate North Sails for their support in bringing the technical expertise over from America to help with the setting up of boats and to offer specialist advice. There was positive feedback last year from competitors and we saw that the general standard of racing was raised after the three day event and coaching.'
North Sails UK Sales Manager, Sam Richmond, added: 'We are pleased once again to bring North U. Regatta Services to the RORC Easter Challenge. We see this as an opportunity for owners and crew in the UK to jump-start their season with world-class advice from an internationally successful platform. North Sails is delighted to strengthen our support for customers and competitors of the RORC Easter Challenge.'
