2026 VIODA Coaching Camp 2

Saturday 31 October – Monday 2 November

9.00am – 4.00pm | Royal Brighton Yacht Club

Three full days of Optimist coaching as we build towards the 2027 Australian Optimist Championship in January and the Victorian Optimist State Championships in March.

Importantly, Royal Brighton Yacht Club will also host the 2027 Australian Optimist Championship, giving sailors a valuable opportunity to train, race and become familiar with the Nationals venue ahead of January.

Coaching Line-Up

• Will McKenzie (MYC) – VIODA Head Coach
• Grace Cockman (SSCBC)
• Anna Cripsey (RBYC)
• Dmitry Sorokin (Brighton Grammar School)

Open to all fleets.

Sailors are to be rigged and ready by 9.00am each day, with coaching running through to 4.00pm.

We will also arrange an end-of-day BBQ for sailors after each day’s training.

Cost: $250 per sailor for the full three-day camp.

Numbers are limited to ensure sailors receive quality on-water coaching and individual attention, so early registration is strongly encouraged.
