NTNUI Sailing organizes sailing training during the season and strength/conditioning training when we cannot sail due to weather conditions. There are two different training sessions per week for Yngling and one for Melges24. The sailing season in Trondheim lasts from approximately mid-April to mid-October, and we try to get out on the water as much as possible during this period. All registration and updated information can be found on the Spond group for NTNUI Sailing, and more information about this can be found on our Facebook page.
Thursday
The Thursday practice are arranged by NTNUI Sailing and is for Yngling sailors. During the training there will be a trainer from NTNUI Sailing that will give feedback to the sailors and help arrange the training. The practice will focus on boat handling and trimming of sails, and address some aspects of tactics and route choices on the regatta course. We try to bring with us some buoys to simulate realistic scenarios from regattas so that the sailing becomes interesting for everyone. The practice starts at 17:00 and lasts for about two hours. It is possible to sign up for the training in out Spond group. Feel free to show up in good time so that we can start sailing at 17:00.
Tuesday
On tuesdays we hold two different types of practices. They happen at the same time but are divided into Yngling training and Melges traning. The Yngling training is without a trainer, which means you will meet up with the other sailors at Skansen and then go out together. The other tuesday practice is for the Melges24 teams in Trondheim. This training is held for experienced sailors who have access to NTNUI’s Melges24. This training focuses on boat handling and trimming, as well as exchanges of experience with the other teams in Trondheim. It is not possible to sign up for these practices through this site. This training also begins at 17:00, so make sure to meet up with some time to spare so that you can rig the boats.
Monday
Monday practice is arranged by Trondhjems Seilforening (TSF). Members of NTNUI sailing can participate in the training in exchange for signing up with TSF and paying the training fee. Membership for students (<26 years) costs NOK 410 a year, while the training fee is NOK 500 per semester. For this price, you get to participate in training, and take advantage of other benefits that TSF offers.
The trainings are relatively similar to the Thursdays with NTNUI. It is held together with the other Ynglings in TSF. You will get the opportunity to sail with others from the environment and talk to, and learn from experienced sailors in the association.
The trainings are arranged from 17:30 to 20:30.
