Sail Newport Training (Newport, RI)

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN IN SEPTEMBER

THE FUTURE IS FOILING!

Join Coach Agustin Ferrario at Sail Newport for an Introduction to Foiling Clinic on WASZPS. 

Your registration fee includes coaching and the charter of a WASZP for the entire weekend as well as training, briefings and debriefs at the end of every day.

This is not a learn-to-sail clinic. This Clinic is designed for sailors with proven sailing skill sets in other boats.

This weekend clinic includes shared use of a WASZP, classroom lessons, and coaching. 

Participants must bring their own lunch, water, and snacks as well as all necessary sailing gear. 

Sailors who wish to attend must attend both days of the clinic.

The weCANfoil program was created in Canada with the mission to get sailors foiling by providing training opportunities, sailing camps and demo days across the country. WeCANfoil is your first step to flight and an opportunity to get on a pathway to Pro. https://www.instagram.com/wecanfoil/?hl=en

About Coach Agustin 

Originally he grew up sailing in Argentina where it became his life passion. He started coaching in Halifax, Canada 13 years ago, focusing on youth development. Through the America’s Cup in San Francisco in 2013, he got into foiling and now he gets to combine coaching youth with foiling through WeCANFoil.

Normal Weekend Schedule (See registration site for more details)

IMPORTANT NOTE

WeCANFoil is not a for profit program and runs these clinics as a way to provide access to foiling. Please ask your Program Director if you can help in any way to make these weekends a success by housing one of the coaches, providing meals, driving a RIB or one of many other ways to chip in. Coach boats will need to be prepped and fueled and put away at the end of the day, snacks can be made for the sailors etc. Someone could volunteer to be on the water and take photos and videos or simply act as a safety boat. WeCANFoil has a great mission and we are lucky to have them involved but they need our support to make it all work on a tight budget.
