We are excited to announce our key coach line up for the South Island Clinic in December 2024 at the Queen Charlotte Yacht Club.
Our Head coaches Kate Overend (QCYC) and Andrew Brown (WBC) will put their shared expertise and experience into leading the Clinic. Kate is the Head Coach at QCYC and brings with her a wealth of local knowledge and experience to the role. Andrew is an Olympian and international coach with a huge amount of experience coaching sailors to reach their potential. He has recently been the NZ Optimist World’s team coach.
We are also very excited to introduce Peter McCann from Ireland. Peter is a professional coach with a wealth of international experience. Most recently he was a coach for the Australian Optimist Sailing Team based in Melbourne. As a sailor he has 8 national titles to his name and multiple medals at major European regattas.
Other coaches will be announced closer to the time once we have our final registrations in. But rest assured that this will be an amazing experience for your young sailors to learn from some of the best Optimist coaches in New Zealand.
The annual NZIODA South Island Clinic is held at Queen Charlotte Yacht Club and runs from 19th to 22nd December this year. Remember this is Open to all sailors in Open, White and Green fleets.
