North Sails Solo Class Boatspeed Workshop

Published 14:58 on 11 Mar 2026

We are very proud to have Tom Gillard from North Sails hosting a Solo Class Boatspeed Workshop at the Club.

Tom Gillard is widely regarded as one of the most versatile and successful dinghy sailors in the United Kingdom. As of 2024, he has amassed an incredible 37 major championships across ten different sailing classes.

He has been a dominant force. His success in the Solo fleet is particularly notable because he is physically lighter than the ideal weight for the boat, often requiring him to use technical finesse and superior rig tuning to compete against heavier sailors in high winds.

In his "near-perfect" 2022 season, he swept the Solo Nationals, the Nations Cup in Carnac, and the Inland Championships.

This will be an incredible coaching day and one not to miss. Book your place today and it is the day before our Allen Sailing Solo Class Open Meeting here at Barnt Green. OPEN TO NON-MEMBERS
