Previous experience on the sea is NOT required however due to high tides of this week we will have a bit more of a potential shore break to pass compared to low tide. If you prefer low tide choosing our second dates 9 – 14 March 2026 can be adviced yet both camps are accesible for all.

How the Week Looks:

The masterclass operates on a concept of 4 days of coaching chosen out of a 6-day window, allowing us to select the best days based on the forecast for optimal conditions.

Day 1: Introduction Day + Group Sailing Session

Meet at the TWS Center around 10:00 a.m. for a spot introduction, forecast review, and goal setting.
A short theory lesson is followed by a group sailing session to assess skill levels and adjust individual goals.
Initial pointers and focus points for the next day will be provided.
In case of no wind, theory and land simulation with the simulator will be conducted.

Coaching Days (Days 2, 3 & 4): On & Off the Water

On windy days, there will generally be a maximum of two on-water sessions, each lasting approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on conditions and participant energy levels. Attending all sessions is not mandatory.
At least one session per day will involve filming from the beach to provide immediate feedback and quick debriefings.
At midday, a quick video analysis of key clips will be conducted, followed by a second session where Dieter may join on the water or continue filming.
In the evening, all video footage will be sorted and uploaded to a Dropbox for your personal use.
Each following morning, key clips will be reviewed, and daily goals will be set.

In Case of No Wind: We will delve deeper into theory and land simulation to ensure continuous learning.

In Case of Lighter Winds: We will still go on the water for light wind exercises.
