The Oxford Team Racing Academy returns for the fourth season. The training is ideally suited to those sailors who have stopped sailing the RYA Youth Pathway classes & are looking to learn a new sailing skill before going to university.
Six weekends of Team Race training are planned at Farmoor Reservoir near Oxford.
Sailors apply individually, helms and crews will be assessed, and then teams formed, and a squad selected to attend the UKTRA finals. It is also intended that an under 18 team will participate in the BSDRA regional and final regattas during the summer term of 2017.
The dates are:
- 22/23 October
- 26/27 November
- 17/18 December
- 21/22 January 2017
- 11/12 February 2017
- 1/2 April 2017
The OTRA programme can be booked at a discounted price of £300 for six weekends or for £60 per sailor per weekend. The OTRA camps are open to sailors over the age of 15 & under the age of 22, a maximum of 36 sailors.
In addition we are hoping to go on a week's tour of the Boston schools during the Easter holidays, the dates for this have not yet been finalised. This will be for a week between the 1st and 16th April.
We will be entering two teams for the RYA ET Team Racing Regatta on 15/16 October. In order to enter the best two possible teams there will be some Saturday morning training for those available.
