Jon Emmett ILCA & Youth Coaching Day

Published 08:38 on 28 May 2026

What a fantastic turnout! We were thrilled to welcome 20 eager sailors to our recent ILCA & Youth Coaching Day, led by none other than world-renowned sailor and coach, Jon Emmett.

The energy on and off the water was fantastic as our youth and ILCA fleets came together for a day packed with high-level training, skill-building, and plenty of laughs.

With Jons extensive Olympic-level coaching background, sailors received top-tier insights into boat handling, sail trim, and tactical strategy.

Back on shore, Jon walked the group through real-time footage of their sessions, offering invaluable, personalised feedback that our sailors can take straight into their next race.

A massive thank you to Jon Emmett for sharing his incredible expertise, to the volunteers who kept everything running smoothly on the safety boats and shore, and, of course, to the 20 brilliant sailors who brought their A-game.

The future of our youth and ILCA racing looks incredibly bright. Stay tuned to the website for announcements on our next training clinics!
