Paul Brotherton was appointed to coach the Austrian 470 teams in July 2005. Over the remaining six months of last year he set them a programme of training based around the methodologies of My Sailing Coach, culminating in the Miami Olympic Classes Regatta in January this year.

In this time:

  • The men's team of Matthias Schmid and Florien Reichstaetter have risen to 9th place after originally being down in 23rd
  • The women's team of Sylvia Vogl and Carolina Flatscher have climbed from 10th position to 3rd in the world

Paul commented "It shows the effects that a real commitment to training can have. Both teams have enthusiastically embraced the training methodologies presented, and the results are evident."
