Regatta Training on Catamarans with Nikolaus Resch

Would you like to take your racing skills to the next level or compete with the best at your next club championship? Our Catamaran Regatta Training with former Olympic sailor Nikolaus Resch in Pomer, Croatia, is designed for ambitious sailors who want to improve their skills on catamarans in realistic racing conditions.

During an intensive training weekend, we combine comprehensive theory with practical on-the-water exercises. Together, we focus on tactics, sail trim, and racing rules—with the goal of improving boat speed, tactical awareness, and confident manoeuvres within the race fleet. A strong start often determines the outcome of the entire race: therefore, start training is also a key part of the programme.
