Coaches will be able to very well support their sailors from ashore as the course and race team caters well for this unique set-up. Coaches, bring a bike, chair and definitely binoculars!!
Tip #2
To complete entry both a WS Sailor ID number (after your registration the processing takes 1-2 days, If your country doesn't have a sailing license system you still have to enter a value, eg 1234 and then it works) is required along with current IN15CA Membership.
