A Great Christmas Present

By Doug

If you're looking for a great Christmas present for your spouse, favorite teenager, best friend, or yourself, look no further than a clinic at the International Sailing Academy. Like everything in life, there's coach and there's first class. The this is first class. Here's an example of a starting drill:

I've been to many clinics over the years and trained at the ISA for the recent Master Worlds. Here's what you can expect:

·       Great sailing conditions in the open water with lots of different types of waves that make for great practice.

·       Excellent coaching with subtle tips that make a difference. For example, check out how to manage changes in pressure going upwind.

• New boats from the 2016 Worlds, with all the spare parts you'll need.
• All-inclusive room and board, with outstanding meals by chef Petra.
• Helpful staff. I had to visit a doctor and Max took care of everything.

And being a tourist destination, there are lots of other things to try like the zip line that Pam and I enjoyed. The whole experience was first class and would make an excellent Christmas present for some lucky person.
