Depending on the venue and the weather forecast the coach may decide to run one longer session instead of two shorter sessions. After a late lunch, there will be a debrief on the days sailing session. The fitness coach will take control of the group again after sailing, running a gym session and a cool-down session which sometimes involves an ice bath or swim. This will be followed by a briefing on what the coach plans for the days sailing sessions, pointing out the areas where the coach intends to focus, taking into consideration the prevailing weather conditions. These physical training sessions will be conducted by our in-house fitness coaches, with care being taken that the exercises are suitable for that age group and to ensure the safety of the sailors taking part in the sessions. Often address body weight issues are addressed as there is a reasonable and consistent time frame to achieve such goals.ĭepending on the venue the day will start with a physical training warm-up session, sometimes before breakfast, sometimes after. Fitness levels benefit also from working out a couple of times a day with our in house strength and conditioning coach. Competition is provided by the other ILCA sailors in the BaseCamp making the training sessions competitive. Athletes get to work with a coach for a prolonged time and therefore perfect specific techniques. Athletes can get into the routine of a true ILCA professional and often sailors make the biggest improvements in performance during BaseCamp training stretches. Primarily aimed at ILCA 7 and 6 athletes campaigning for a goal regatta, the beauty of BaseCamp is that sailors get to experience and practice in every type of sailing condition as the weather varies throughout the month. Sailors can stay for up to one month at a time at our Malta or Valencia SailBases, being introduced to an Olympic sailors way of life, getting into a routine of sailing, fitness, briefings, protein shakes and sleep. BaseCamps have a broad focus, giving sailors the opportunity to work on different areas of their development.
