Team Racing

After very successful Team Racing courses and participation in the Elmos since 2022, we intend to run another Team Racing week for Level 3's and Level 4's this summer. This is a fantastic opportunity for our trainees to try out a new type of racing (for Bray SC).

The skills used in Team Racing help to emphasise skills in rules and tactics along with teams of boats/crew working together to beat their opponents. Concentration on helming and crewing skills is a must and we would encourage as many of our eligible trainees as possible to sign up for this course.

As an added bonus, for anyone headed to college within the next couple of years and thinking of joining the Sailing club there Team Racing skills are strongly in demand and opportunities within college sailing are definitely preferential to those with a Team Racing skillset.

This course will be run this year by David and Lucy, two of our instructors who have a lot of Team Racing experience as participants and coaches.

At the end of the summer, we hope to enter a Bray Sailing Club team into the Elmo Championships which is an annual two day team racing event and normally takes place on the last weekend of August in the Royal St George YC in Dun Laoghaire.
