We are excited to welcome the Solo Sailors that have booked for the upcoming North Sails Solo Class Boatspeed Workshop here at Barnt Green Sailing Club. This promises to be an exceptional day of high-level coaching designed to sharpen your skills and boost your speed on the water.
We are incredibly proud to host Tom Gillard from North Sails. Tom is one of the most versatile and successful dinghy sailors in the UK.
His dominance in the Solo fleet is particularly legendary; as a lighter sailor, Tom relies on technical finesse and expert rig tuning to beat the competition.
