Blaze training day

BCA is pleased to announce its 2025 Class-subsidised training day, ahead of the first Championship event of the season  - The BCA Blaze Eastern Championship (12-13th April). Make a long weekend of it! Encouraged by a well-presented and well-received coaching and training performance by our very own multi National Champion, Ben Harden in 2024, we’re delighted to secure his expert services once again. There’s no one else on the planet who can better Ben’s winning Blaze-specific insight. As the 2024 trainees will tell you, Ben imparts his knowledge freely, with eloquence and clarity and has proven himself a coach with all the right ingredients to help draw the best out of you and your boat. You can expect a full day of classroom and on-water sessions with personalised boat set-up and tuning advice, how to improve your speed on the water, racing skills, tactical awareness and video analysis/debrief. The cost for training day is a fantastic value *£50*

If the training isn't great value enough, there's also discounted racing for trainees: Combined training and Blaze Eastern Championship race entry - an awesome *£90*  (normal race entry only price £60).

The training prices include:

• Bacon/sausage bap breakfast on Friday morning.

• Free tea and coffee all day in training room.

• 2-course Friday Bistro ('British Classics' theme) and Quiz night at RCYC

  
  

We're always at the mercy of the weather, but the day may include (but not necessarily limited to):

• Informal meet and greet (rigged and dressed). Coffee/Tea and breakfast. 08:30 start

• Land rigging/tuning presentation.

• Waterside rigging advice

• 2 water sessions (weather dependent)

• Video debrief

• Training review and Q&A. 18:00 finish

Trainees will be expected to provide their own packed lunch on Friday to minimise faff and maximise training time.

Camping is available for £20 per night (tents and motorhome with hookup) - pay RCYC direct.

Training is limited to 15 boats. To ensure this training event proceeds we need a minimum of 10 deposits by Sunday 23rd February (Dinghy Show weekend).

The £25 deposit is refundable in the case that less than 10 deposits are received by Sunday 23rd February. The training will then not go ahead. If 10 deposits are received by Sunday 23rd February your deposit becomes non-refundable.

Balance of training fee (with or without Blaze Easterns Championship Entry) is required to be paid by Sunday 23rd March. Race discount will not be available after this date.
