J/24 Sail Training video- off Australia

(Sandringham, Australia)- As part of a coaching weekend just before the Vic States, Michah Shuwalow, from the SYC boating academy ran a session with the local J/24 fleet.  Michah produced a J/24 Sail Training Video at Sandringham YC prior to the Victoria States J/24 Championship.

As well as taking photos, Michah provided a GoPro camera that was attached to three different boats over the mornings races. It was fascinating to see the differences in the way we all sail the boats.  Here’s a video that Michah put together showing PACEMAKER in the first race.  The coaching footage was taken during the Sandringham YC's J/24 Sprint Series this winter.  The video features musical artist Skrillex and their recent Top 40s Hit "Bangarang (featuring Sirah)."  Enjoy, some interesting practices being used on J/24s nowadays that are developments of boat-handling maneuvers from the past.   Check out the Australian J/24 sailing video here.
