Coaching
for Wellington secondary school sailing teams
During term two and three Wellington secondary schools receive coaching
support for their match racing teams thanks to a partnership between the
Port Nicholson Yachting Trust and College Sport Wellington. Boy’s teams
consist of three students, while girl’s teams can have four students.
Mixed gender teams of three students can also enter. Each team must have
at least one member who has experience of sailing and at least one
member who is new to sailing.
The programme provides access to …
a fleet of four match racing keelboats
a coach boat
coaching equipment
coaches
Each team is provided with up to eight, 2.5 hour coaching sessions
facilitated by a sailing academy match racing coach. Coaching takes
place after school during term two, and during the first six weeks of
term three. Schools can involve their own coaching or support people in
the programme but aren’t disadvantaged if they do not have these
people involved.
Coaching is based out of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club sailing
academy. The yachts leave from Chaffer’s Marina and sailing is generally
on the inner harbour off Frank Kitts Park or off Oriental Bay.
The programme caters for up to 12 teams. Schools can include more than
one team in the programme if they choose. A regatta is held during
winter sports week to determine the College Sport Wellington match
racing champions. The regatta is hosted by the Royal Port Nicholson
Yacht Club.
There is a charge of $65 per sailor for the secondary schools match
racing coaching programme. This cost includes all coaching sessions and
entry into the College Sport Wellington match racing championships.
