Specialization course on the Dolphin 81 - Level 2 - Lake Garda
After years of organizing sailing events, fleet regattas, and match races, Water Tribe created a formative course, heavy in technique dedicated to lovers of regattas who wish to refine their driving skills, tactics, and knowledge of the regatta rules. For this course Water Tribe has chosen the Dolphin 81, studied for a crew of 5 components. The Dolphin 81 One Design is an athletic and fast watercraft, easy to handle. Conceived for regattas, it was selected by the ISAF for the World Championship Match Race thanks to the boat’s ease of conduction. The waterlines were designed to obtain the maximum speed in all conditions. Thanks to their notable length at the waterline and the way the stern sections favor the surface, they are true purebloods performing on narrow courses. The stability of its form permits the teams smooth sailing even with strong wind and waves. The homogeneity of the fleet also permits the coach a perfect didactic uniformity and equality in performance for the teams. The course, which lasts two weekends, will be focused on the rules of the regattas, like the organization of the hull, navigations with a spinnaker, VMG (velocity made good), tactics and the Rules of the Regatta. The cost of the course is €380, which includes: embarkation onboard the boats during the days indicated, didactic instruction, assistance with life raft, educational support, personal insurance. This price does not include: personal accident insurance (€50 for one year), transport, accommodation, and all else not expressly included.
