LEARN TO SAIL. HAVE FUN.
|
The principle aim of the Russell Coutts Sailing Foundation is to introduce participants to the joys of sailing and to help each sailor to grow in character and personal confidence.
The Foundation's various programmes incorporate coaching of sailing and racing skills, but also include non-competitive, fun and social events both on and off the water, for young sailors and their families. |
The Foundation recognises that, while some participants may go on to achieve success at national and international level, this should not be used as the sole measure of the success for the programme.
Rather, the main measures of success will be the attraction and retention of young sailors in the sport, who have previously had little or no sailing experience. |
