The Performance Academy is excited to announce the release of their Winter 2024-25 ILCA Training Programme.

Designed for ILCA 4, 6, and 7 sailors who are eager to elevate their skills, this programme offers a unique opportunity to train with top-level coaches at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA), a world-class training venue.

This series of weekend and week-long clinics will provide opportunities for youth sailors to train with high level coaches at WPNSA and will work to complement the training already facilitated by the UKLA and the RYA.

In addition to our UK-based winter dates, we are excited to offer international residential and non-residential training camps, including sessions in Vilamoura, Portugal—the venue for the ILCA 6 European Championships in 2025. These camps are ideal for sailors looking to boost their winter training hours in a world-class setting.
