its no coincidence that Laser chose the

Weymouth and Portland National Sailing

Academy as the home of the rst Laser Sailing

Centre. It provides the extremely safe sailing

conditions of Portland Harbour as well as easy

access to the challenging water beyond. And

with its new multi-million pound centre,

onshore facilities are the best available.

By making it fun. Sailing a dinghy for therst time is a fairly alien environment forbeginners because they are surrounded bywater and they are totally reliant on thewind for movement. However, in sayingthat, I think the most common problem withbeginners is over-complicating things. It iseasy to get caught up in all the terminology,so I just make it fun and keep it simple.

How do you motivate students?

I love sailing and meeting people so it justseemed to make sense. Im actually aninstructor in several sports, I just like it. Ithink if I wasnt an instructor Id be a teacher.

Why did you become an instructor?

Enjoyment mainly, but Im also reallycompetitive, I think that helps as well.

What motivates you to keep sailing?

As a youngster I rst sailed in a dinghy withmy sister but she didnt have the sailing bugquite as much as I did so after a couple of years(and Im sure an awful lot of whining) I got myown boat. I raced and trained for several yearswith the majority of my instruction being inboats made by Laser.

When did you start training?

Since I was too young to remember I haveto thank my parents for that. Its not beenhard to stay into sailing though, because itssuch a versatile sport. I can teach all week inone boat and then still want to jump into adierent one for a race at the end of the week.Or even work a whole season and still wantto plan a holiday to go and sail on warmerwaters somewhere else. There are so manyways to enjoy the sport and so many dierentplaces to enjoy it.

When did you start sailing and why?

Matt Bridge, tells us how he grewhis sea legs, and how you can too.

3 Its an exciting sport that can beenjoyed in so many dierent waysfrom cruising with friends to nding

a picnic spot, to racing a single handeron the trapeze wire. There is literally

something for everyone and it canbe as relaxing or exciting as you want.

Also, the social aspect of the sport,theres a great social scene.

What small steps can sailors take to continually improve their skills?

To continually improve you need to push yourself and put yourself in

more complex situations. The best way to do this is by sailing with

people that are better than you as you can learn from them.

guru tip

Race Clinic withSailLaser the saillaser team are continually looking for ways

to improve your Laser Sailing skills. In addition to our

Start Racing courses, we are running an Advanced LaserRace Clinic with coach and Pre Olympic Gold Medallist

Paul Goodison on the 2324 September.

The challenging mi xture of on and o the watercoaching will push your sailing ability to the limit.

The two day clinic will also include video tuitionso Paul can give you expert advice.

winning the start

Starting is one of the most dicult aspects ofsailing to be consistent at so there is always roomfor improvement. In this part of the race you willbe closer to all your competitors.

My best starts are made when Im feeling the mostcondent; this condence comes from practise

and faith in my ability. It is also important to havea controlled level of aggression, as you need to be

both calm in your mind but at times aggressive inyour actions.

pre start checksI get out to the racecourse with a minimum of

30 minutes to the start; I need this much time tobecome comfortable with the conditions and myrig settings.

My pre start checks include:

Wind, tide speed direction

Transits, how reliable are they and how

condent am I with them

Time and distance to the line

Which way do I want to go up the beat?
