My Sailing Coach website launches

Paul Brotherton launched the My Sailing Coach website at the Dinghy Show in London today

A member's home page on the My Sailing Coach.

Paul’s unique approach to training and racing has guided many top sailors to their goals. Through the My Sailing Coach website, his methodology and training routines are now available to all. Users will be able to receive: help in planning their campaigns; an optimised training plan to peak in fitness and performance for their season’s goals – as well as access to a library of tips, advice and training techniques.

Most racing sailors, whether in dinghies, dayboats or yachts, are aware that a coach can provide an enormous amount of valuable input to a sailing campaign. The experience, advice and assistance that they give in training and planning a campaign can be the difference required to move performance on to another level. However, the cost and availability of one-to-one coaching expertise makes the use of coaches rare, outside of the very top level of the sport.

My Sailing Coach makes one-to-one coaching accessible to all – using the power of the internet to provide communication. As a full My Sailing Coach member you will receive:

At an affordable price

Each member pays only £20 per month for the full service, with a minimum membership of one year.

Plus, it’s even cheaper at the Dinghy Sailing show!

Members signing during the Dinghy Sailing Show weekend of the 4th – 5th March will receive a special launch offer of 10% off their monthly fees for the first year of their membership. This means they can sign-up for full membership for only £18 per month for the first year.

  • A telephone interview on joining, to establish the aims of the campaign, how much training time you can commit

  • An online calendar to plan your campaign, including your training and race log to record your successes and improvements
  • A quarterly review of your progress and help in adapting your strategy, both on and off the water
  • A library of information, including video and animations, offering insight into the strategies, techniques and mindsets that champions use to win sailing races

  • A members’ forum to share you views, and find out what other members on the My Sailing Coach “team” think about current sailing events

    Membership for the whole crew

    If your boat has more than one crew-member, the message centre offers even greater service, by allowing all your crew-members to leave messages for each other, planning training and event logistics. You can choose to share your views with the whole crew, or have private chats with your coach for more delicate matters. Each crew-member will need to be a My Sailing Coach member to access the website.
