We are very happy that Pablo Villar offers the opportunity to promote Tactical Sailing in Argentina (ARG) again, this time for the Laser Regatta 2023 in his "Club Náutico Olivos (CNO)". Andy Villar, himself a laser sailor ARG 213897 is part of the organising team. We are sending a voucher for all sailors on the flyer for the ILCA - Copa "Patricio Homps" 2023.
The participants of the Laser Regatta in Argentina will be provided with a training tool by "Tactical Sailing" - and even in a Spanish language version. Pablo: "The Tactical Sailing Tool will certainly help them understand the reasons for tactical decisions and make them better tactical sailors"! "TacticalSailing.es" in Spanish is used worldwide by sailors in: ARG, CHI, ESP, FRA, NED, UKR, MEX, URU, POR. See reports about Laser ILCA Races here.
The top 3 winners are: ILCA 4: Josefina Benvenuto CVB; ILCA 6: Eduardo Santambrogio YCO; ILCA 7: Pedro Pinto CNSI.
Pedro Pinto is a coach and jury member in Argentina ILCA-Class, see his photos on Instagram here.

Philipp Buhl - World Champion 2018: "Tactics are an essential key to success for me. During a regatta, the changing wind conditions and those still to be expected are decisive. Those who can best grasp the current situation, implement it correctly and with lightning speed using healthy intuition, have good cards for victory. There is hardly a sport that demands more coordination in mental, technical and athletic terms than performance sailing in the Olympic Laser."
Gold: Congratulations Philipp! In a terrific powerful final fight, Philipp beats his main opponent Hermann Tomasgaard from Norway and relegates him to the silver medal in the final battle for the medals of the 2018 Marseille World Cup Final. © www.Philipp-Buhl.de © Pictures FFvoile / Sailing Energy.
To date, around 225,000 of the small single-handed dinghies have been sold in more than 140 countries, and there is no end in sight to the success story Simplicity, maximum sailing fun and durability were the primary design parameters that Bruce Kirby implemented quite optimally. The absolute uniformity and construction sameness cleared the way for a steep sporting career, all the way to Olympic status. The Laser embodies the Olympic idea like hardly any other boat class.

The ILCA 4 uses a short, pre-curved lower mast.

Participants in the 2023 Championships will be offered a coaching toolbox. The idea for this Spanish language version came from Pablo Villar (ARG), who has been working hard for years in Buenos Aires to promote young sailing talent. Pablo Villar:

Strategic and tactical decisions in regatta sailing are made in a similar way to classic "risk management". Already at the starting line, the sailor has to decide on the right or left side of the Regatta area. Jochen Schumann, Germany's most successful sailor, agrees: "The physics of sailing constantly forces us to make a clear decision. " In the Tactical Sailing program there is the "Coach’s Toolbox" with over 100 exercises. From this toolbox collection we have put together a special "Tool Bag" for regatta sailors. With these exercises, the ability to make decisions is trained, such as risk assessment and gain-loss analysis. They serve the regatta sailor to prepare for cups and championships, such as:
With one "click", the coach can repeatedly call up the simulation of a regatta scene as video clips (YouTube) and discuss it with the sailors, e.g. tactical behaviour on the way to the finish line. We are happy to provide the new "Tool Bag" for all sailors.
