What is a Lightning Lab?

A Lightning Lab is typically a two day sailing clinic aimed to improve skills for Lightning sailors of all abilities. It is run by a coach with extensive experience in the Lightning. Boat handling drills, starting practice, tuning and sail trim are common themes. Video tape analysis of the day’s practice may also be used.

Lightning Labs are a great opportunity for your fleet. Here are some of the reasons:

Sailors of all ability levels will benefit
They can raise the level of competition in your Fleet / District
You will learn from some of the best sailors in the class
It’s a fun fleet activity
You can have a party Saturday night after sailing
They force you to do the practicing you’ve been meaning to do for years
You'll have a chance to share ideas and techniques outside the competitive pressures of a regatta
The ILCA will help setup the Lab
The ILCA may help fund travel for the coach / instructor

Lightning Labs are supported by the ILCA Fund.
