This Friday: Q&A Live Call with Olympic Champ Dylan Fletcher – Build your boatspeed around YOU

What’s the quickest, most effective way to develop your Boat Speed? It’s a tough question so it’s worth asking someone who really does know about the shortcuts and roadblocks on the path to finding world-class speed. 

This Friday, the Road To Gold Live Q&A on Zoom will feature Dylan Fletcher who, with Stu Bithell, won that last-gasp Olympic gold medal in the 49er at last year’s Olympic Games.

Dylan is currently in Argentina about to see if he can win one of the most coveted World Championships of all, the International Moth Worlds. Obviously Dylan and Stu developed world-class boatspeed in the 49er, but Dylan has an additional challenge in the Moth. He’s a lightweight compared with the 90kg-plus sailors like Tom Slingsby who have been dominated the foiling singlehander in recent years. 

So when is it OK to go down a different development path? And how do you develop your Boatspeed for YOU?

We’ll be asking Dylan questions like:

  • The fastest, most effective way to develop your boatspeed
  • How to identify (and avoid) the time-sucking blind alleys
  • What he learned about boatspeed in the data-driven world of SailGP
  • Any speed-related questions YOU have for him…

WHEN: Fri 18th Nov 11am UK 🇬🇧

Join us on Friday morning (1100 hours UTC) where we’ll be talking all things speed-related with Dylan.

Oman at a Glance

Perched on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman’s stark beauty and vastly contrasting landscapes have enchanted growing numbers of tourists each year.  With its magnificent desert, secret oases and  breathtaking mountain ranges, Oman is an alluring destination. A tropical underwater paradise lies beneath the turquoise sea, caressing the white sandy beaches that adorn the country’s stunning 3,165 km coastline.  

Alongside this natural wealth is Oman’s rich culture, which blends with modern infrastructure and historical features that span over 7,000 years. Grand forts, exquisite palaces and mystical souqs are sights to behold in the capital, Muscat. A visit to Oman makes you feel right at home from the time you arrive, until the moment you leave. The Sultanate is full of opportunities for adventure, including fascinating tours with an Arabian flavour.  

Oman’s coastline is a paradise for explorers. Its abundance of wildlife includes whales, dolphins, turtles, seahorses, and flamingos. Underwater, its incredible marine life is found close to the water’s surface.  

 

 

 

 

The mountains cover approximately 15% of the country’s land mass. Oman’s main mountain range is the 10,000 foot Al Hajar, which runs from Musandam in the North to the extreme limit of the Arabian Peninsula, Ras Al Had.  

 

 

 

 

Sands and deserts occupy the remaining area; these include two large sand deserts – The Wahiba Sands known as Rimalat Al Wahiba and part of the Empty Quarter (Rub Al Khali). Here you can learn about Bedouin culture, camp under a dome of stars and experience the beauty of dawn in the desert.

 

 

 

Oman is known for its tropical climate whilst still subject to seasonal changes. From October through April, the Sultanate offers a lovely climate, with an average temperature of 23 degrees C. Combined with welcoming hospitality, warm seas and stunning landscapes, you can see why tourism in Oman is a growing industry.
