OB470 provides coaching and equipment for highly motivated Olympic hopeful 470 sailors.
Summer season: June-August, with full-time training on Long Island. Sailors of any age can apply to join, whether high school, college, or post-college.
This summer, the team will compete in five Triple Crown Regattas. These events award prize grants based on finish position. Grants can be put toward sailing expenses.
Try-out camps: this year, we plan to offer “try out” training camps for potential members. Dates are TBD. If you are interested in attending, click here to apply today.
Winter season: ~December-February. We move to Florida for warmer weather. Our training schedule is rigorous and we compete in regattas like the North American Championship and US Open Series.
Spring season: runs from March-May. In the past, we have traveled to Europe to compete in the Princess Sofia Regatta, the Worlds, and Europeans. Team members will enjoy opportunities to compete internationally once they show a high level of skill in practice and results in domestic regattas.
Camps
Team training camps: OB470 runs training on Long Island and in Miami. The team practices on a six days on-one day off model, usually having Sunday as a rest day.
While team members train full-time, interested sailors are welcome to join for a few days or weeks of a team training block. An example would be sailors competing in a Triple Crown regatta attending a week of team practice before the event.
