That would be a good idea but it is pretty singular...  You'd ideally want a bigger range of excercise in order to not overly build one muscle group to the detriment of others?

Anyway, here is my workout I use for the Radial over winter when I'm not rowing. Though it would work all year round I have a rowing fitness program over summer  
 

Here is the gym program- 

 Workout 1   Exercise                        Sets     Reps    Weight
 A1               Poliquin Step up              3       15-20             
 A2               Back Extension                3       12-15                     

 B1               Pull Up (Towel)                 3        Max       
 B2               Incline Dumbell Press       3       12-15    10kgs*    (in each hand)                                     
 C1                Wall Sit                            3        Max       
 C2                Plank                               3        Max            

 Workout 2   Exercise                            Sets  Reps     Weight 
 A1               DB Squat Heels Up              3      10-12    6kgs*        ( in each hand)
 A2               Split Squat Front Foot Up    3      10-12                    
 
 B1               Inverted Row + Hold           3       10-12            
 B2               Cable Pull (Rope)                 3       10-12   22kgs                                        

 C1               Side Plank                            3       60seconds             
 C2               Plate Pinch                           3       Max      5-10kgs  

How to use

The 2 workouts are not for the same session- E.G You would do workout 1 on one day and then workout 2 the next- it is to balance things up a bit. I tended to do these in two day chunks with a rest day in-between each.

The exercises are done in categories so you would have a 3min break between A,B,C 
In one set you do the number of reps it says and have a 30sec break in-between sets

If you find it hard- and I definitely did- it helps to have a rest week ocassionally- maybe if your doing a lot of time on the water or before a big event. I tried to taper down to big events.

* V Important- Do only the weights you can manage- don't hurt yourself but don't make it easy either. You can gradually move to heavier weights as your strength builds.  

Enjoy, 
Piers HS

EDIT- Forgot to add- If you don't know the name of the exercise google it- I did....

If you join the UKLA you get a DVD which has all the basic sailing techniques you need to know....
