Between the 7th and 11th of October I went down to Schull, west cork to do a sailing training week. My five training partners and I stayed in the accommodation above the sailing centre. We had Lithuanian coach called Giedrius Guzys, he was given the nickname sunny though.
We spent six days intensively training .This included sailing, fitness and video analysis of our training on the water.
None of our parents were staying with us so we had to cook for ourselves...mostly pasta. I was sorted though because of my exceptional pasta making skills learned in Home Ec for the Junior Cert!
The main focus of the week was on boathandling, which envolves tacking, gybing and rounding marks, along with slow speed manoeuvres on the starting line. Unfortunately this involved getting dunked into the water ... A LOT!
Overall the week was a lot of fun, it was hard work but I learnt loads.
