You'll have the unique and rewarding opportunity to teach and mentor our blind and visually impaired participants in the exciting world of competitive sailing. Over the course of four months, you'll work with our sailors once a month, guiding them through the fundamentals of racing, refining their skills, and helping them develop strategies for success on the water. Your role will be to provide clear, verbal instructions, foster teamwork, and create an environment where participants feel empowered to push their limits and challenge themselves. Through your coaching, you'll not only enhance their sailing abilities but also build their confidence and independence, making each race a chance for growth and accomplishment. Your expertise and enthusiasm will help SailBlind participants experience the thrill of racing and the joy of achieving their personal bests on the water.
