About

The SailCoach Foundation was established in 1996 by Trevor Millar. He had a vision to create a coaching organisation that could help sailors from all parts of the globe reach their sporting potential and achieve their sailing goals and dreams.

SailCoach is a non profit organisation that works predominantly with sailors in the Laser class providing coaching, charter boats, travel, accommodation and overall campaigning support and mentorship for sailors. SailCoach has two training bases, a winter SailBase on the island of Les Embiez in the South of France and a summer SailBase in Torbole, Lake Garda, Italy. Athletes of all ages, shapes and sizes are welcome at SailCoach, as the Foundation guides individuals in the 4.7, Radial and Laser Standard classes and runs coaching clinics for Laser Masters and Optimist.

SailCoach has been at the forefront of dinghy racing for many years and has won a number of Olympic Medals, World and European Championship, World Cup Events, ISAF Youth medals and Europa Cup titles, however the Foundation has at its core more than just silverware. The SailCoach philosophy is based around the development of the whole athlete where success is measured by individuals' realising their personal potential, whatever that may be, and developing life skills that will be of benefit beyond the realms of the boat park.

SailCoach has worked with sailors from all corners of the world, from the Seychelles to the to the United States of America, and from Britain to Cook Islands, with each individual having their own dream and goals. SailCoach has taken newcomers to sailing, all the way to the Olympic Games, as well as developed talented athletes into medaling at the Olympic Regatta. Many sailors who are part of Team SailCoach develop skills for life and feel they have been part of an experience, not just a sailing clinic.

SailCoach carrys out coaching clinics at their SailBase all year round, as well as travelling to all the European and World Championship regattas at Standard, Radial and 4.7 levels. SailCoach has a number of full time athletes who train 24/7 with the Foundation, and also plenty of individuals who fit in coaching camps and regattas around their work/school commitments.
