Thomas: "I work as a coach for Opti in Italy, and after a first quick lesson with the children I noticed, that "Tactical Sailing" is a very simple method to explain tactics to children of about 10/11 years. Our staff tried just different methods, but it seems that your program may be the best. But I noticed just, that you should add a penalty in the "Game Against the Wind" when touching the marks.
I have to study the program and "Coach´s Toolbox", to prepare some good winter lessons for the experts and also beginners of racing.

The photos are taken at a workshop in our area (Zone X, Marche), Ancona. About 100 Opti sailors from 7 years upwards, from beginners to experts divided into three groups with the theme: "Speed".
