The first two talks are by world renowned Mark Rushall. Mark is a world class sailing coach, mentor, journalist and author and has been with the British Olympic Sailing Programme since 2006. He was the British Team Strategist for the 2016 Rio Olympics and prior to that coached the Paralympic Sonar team in 2008 and 2012. Mark mentors other Olympic coaches and has authored the RYA Tactics book.

Further talks will be announced as the series progresses. There is no charge for these sessions but donations to the Flushing Sailing Club Building Fund would be most welcome (details at the bottom of this article). The Club has ambitious plans to re-build its ageing clubhouse for which it has planning permission and is now over two thirds of the way through the £430,000 fundraising campaign. With the Club's centenary in 2021 it is all go for the Club despite the Covid-19 restrictions.
