TRAINING CAMP

Welcome sailors and families!

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the BISC Training Camp 2026, a high-performance training program created to help young sailors prepare for the new season in the best possible conditions, surrounded by a professional, motivating and enriching environment. Organised and hosted at the Barcelona International Sailing Center, this camp combines training, learning and sailing technology in a unique setting.

Our goal is to provide a high-quality experience where every sailor feels supported, valued and motivated to continue growing both athletically and personally. Throughout the program, we will work on technical, tactical and physical aspects specific to each class, complemented by introductory wing foil sessions.

Training sessions, masterclasses and video analysis are all designed to maximise the individual development of every participant, both on and off the water. All of this with the support of a committed coaching team focused on helping sailors grow, learn and fully enjoy the experience.

We look forward to welcoming you!

FOIL INTRODUCTION

Each Training Camp includes specific wing foil initiation and progression sessions — the most accessible foil discipline for young sailors with no previous foil experience. A forward-looking addition that places our programme at the forefront of sailing development.

1. Accessibility

Wing foil as a simple and safe introduction to the world of foil for young sailors.

2. Olympic future

Familiarisation with the technologies that will shape Olympic sailing in the coming decades.

3. Added value

A unique and attractive element that makes the programme stand out.

MASTERCLASS

Each day, sailors will take part in a masterclass led by professionals and specialists from the sailing and sports performance industry. These sessions are designed to complement the on-water training by providing practical knowledge and valuable tools for the athletes’ overall development.

Applied meteorology for racing

A session focused on understanding and interpreting weather conditions in a racing environment. Participants will learn how to analyse wind patterns, clouds, pressure changes and local racecourse effects in order to improve decision-making on the water.

Racing rules masterclass

A practical session focused on the Racing Rules of Sailing, applied to classes such as Optimist and ILCA. Sailors will work on real racing situations, right-of-way rules and manoeuvres, Rule 42, as well as protest hearings and mock jury sessions in English to prepare for international competitions.

Nutrition & physical preparation

A session dedicated to the importance of nutrition, hydration and physical conditioning in sports performance. Sailors will gain practical tools and habits to optimise energy levels, recovery and endurance during training and competition.

Introduction to foiling & innovation in sailing

A session focused on the latest trends in modern sailing and foiling technologies. Participants will discover the fundamentals of wing foiling and its application in Olympic and future sailing disciplines, providing an introduction to the next generation of the sport.

COACHING TEAM

We will count on the support of top-level coaches who are passionate about developing young sailors. Personalised attention and constant follow-up both on and off the water.
