We are thrilled to unveil our 2025 Spring and Summer programmes for ILCA 4, ILCA 6, and ILCA 7 sailors!
We are excited to announce the Performance Academy’s ILCA Training Programme for the 2025/26 season. Building upon our successful training last season, we have put together a programme that offers high-quality, focused training for all ILCA rigs, providing opportunities for tailored coaching weekends, international development, and regatta support.
This year’s programme offers both performance and development groups, allowing for tailored training, drills targeted to your ability, and full support to achieve success at every level.
