The 4th Clinic Resano Bros. is finished!
We had 3 intensive days of work. 37 sailors and 5 coaches (Manny, Magda and Lola Resano, Fred  Rato from Portugal and Florian Trittel) trying to improve their sailing skills. We had a 1st day with gusty and strong winds, 2nd day  of light  to medium winds, and a 3rd day of very light wind, but enough to allow us to train what was planned.

 

Each day we focalize in different aspects:
1º day, Friday 15th: speed and technique. We work with strong winds and therefore we could also train hard on hiking and bailing techniques. Then we finished the sailins session with individual races. On land, we had the briefing and video session, to see and improve our mistakes.
2º day, Saturday 16th: starts. Different exercises to improve the starts, handling the pressure, accuracy, prevision and initial power. In the end of the sea session we did the races. Then briefing on land. At night we had the Clinic´s Dinner together sailors and coaches at Restaurant D´Albert, one of the sponsors of the event.
3º day, Sunday 17th: tactics and startegy and physicall preparation. In the morning we did physicall preparation including a contest of Hiking Bench, whose winner was Carlitos Robles. In the afternoon, we went into the water and did the tactical drills. Finally the winner of the Clinic Regatta was Oscar Pijoan, and the best international was Uku from Estonia, outstanding for his regularity.

 

We hope we meet again next year, for the Vth Clinic Resano Bros.!
