A free coaching program will be held ahead of the Australian Hansa Class Championships on Thursday and Friday April 9 & 10 at Canberra Yacht Club.  Led by Australian Para Sailing Coach Mike Darby, the program will commence at 1pm on the Thursday allowing time for sailors to rig their boats in the morning. Australian Sailing’s Para Sailing Coordinator David Staley will hold a para sailing information session on Thursday afternoon at 5pm – all are welcome.  On the Friday, on-water sessions will be held at 10am and 2pm to allow participants time for event registration and measurement.  During the regatta, Mike will provide a morning briefing, on-water support and an afternoon debrief each day. An invitation is extended to all competitors in the Championships, but participants must register their interest by Thursday April 2 via email to parasailing@sailing.org.au.
