Team Training

As the Canada’s Cup draws closer and the countdown is on to September 2nd, the team is working hard, with regular training mid-week and every weekend.

 

This past weekend the team had three-days of intense coaching from a top US Match Racer, Chris Poole–leader of Riptide Racing, a team on the world's match racing circuit. Chris ranks top 12 in the world so had an abundance of experience and knowledge that he shared with the team. Chris lives in Westport, CI and made the trip north of the border, thankfully without difficulty, and headed straight to RCYC. His impressive accomplishments and awards further to coming in 5th in the 2020 Bermuda Gold Cup Match Race can be found here.

The weather cooperated, so the team got in the full three days of training and Skipper Terry McLaughlin shared his thoughts:





In the race committee chase boat, Defiant owner Paul L’Heureux had World Class Match Racer Graham Sutherland from New Zealand, with him. Graham reached out to offer his expertise with the team, and Paul shares his thoughts below.


 

The team looked impressive as you can see from this video that Paul took out on the water.
