TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY FOR THE CLINIC:

Simone Ricci will be the Head Coach for the entire Clinic with the help of World Class and Olympic Games Coaches.
We are preparing kids for the biggest event in the World. Crazy Starts, big line with 3 Race Committee vessels, big leverages and risks, high level sailors, unique in the world sailing conditions… we could list infinite aspects to describe this event that can be difficult but at least one life time experience.
This is why we can call this Clinic a RACING ORIENTED CLINIC with also Lessons of Boat Handling and Technique. Our Team have big experience on Lake Garda and in Running Big Clinics.
Everything we do has already been tested in past events and all people were happy and learnt a lot. Most of the Clinic will be managed in 1 group racing and doing racing drills all together. Sailors can be split into groups for limited time to execute specific drills.

Sailors will sail all together training races, drills by trophies or exercises where is request the big number of sailors all together. No complaints accepted on groups composition that will change everyday or more than one time in a day. We have lot of material of past Optimist Champions on Lake Garda to show to kids and improve their skills. Other coaches will help us for safety and for better quality trainings.

* METASAIL TRACKING DEVICE WILL BE USED DURING CLINIC FOR SAFETY AND LESSONS.
** ELECTRIC MARKS CAN BE USED TO ENSURE BETTER RACING SIMULATION.
*** IT’S NOT A PRIVATE TRAINING SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TAILORED TRAINING FOR YOUR KIDS THIS IS NOT THE EVENT TO REGISTER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH MANY GOOD SAILORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD IN THE SAME TRAINING GROUP YES IT IS.

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY FOR THE RACE GARDA MEETING:

Simone Ricci will be Head Coach and supervisor and responsible of briefings / debriefings.
Everyday in base to numbers we will assign the groups by colors of the fleets to a Coach.
Coaches will have colors randomly…example Alejandro YELLOW FLEET, Mauro BLU FLEET, Simone RED FLEET and so on…
In this way we can assist better kids in the prestart and after the race. Safety comes first and in this way we can have a better control of the kids. Cadetti Sailors MUST FIRST BE ACCEPTED BY ATLANTIS ACADEMY (Contact us) and can be allocated with local team sailors, and other AA Coaches (depends from numbers and if the Organizers will make 1 course for all groups or 2 different courses).
All of our Expert Coaches will be connected by VHF to share strategy and safety.
All sailors will be provided of tracking system METASAIL by the organizers and this will make it still safer and interesting for race analysis and debriefing.

Past years, in the 2022 edition Atlantis Academy Sailors took a silver medal with Alessandro Cirinei ITA and a Bronze Medal with Levi Bernhardtz SWE , in 2023 6th and 8th with Mateo Coates USA and Martinius Hopstock NOR, in 2024 Gold Medal with Matthias Krauss FRA, Silver Medal Manuel Braganca BRA, 8th Arthur Back BRA.
