The Burning Issue
Perhaps no sport provides the combination
of challenge, relaxation and satisfaction that sailing
provides. Its
unique mix of skill, physical and mental exercise, and
rich history has made it a special sport, a sport for a
lifetime. At Annapolis Sailing Fitness, we believe
that that lifetime of enjoyment can be enhanced by the
application of techniques that help you sail more comfortably,
better and safer. The better conditioned you are,
the more you can do and enjoy. If you want to sail fun,
sail fit!
Competitive sailing is a test of know-how, equipment
and physical ability. The know-how can be acquired
through experience and training. The right equipment
is a question of expertise and resources. Any number
of sources can help you become a smarter sailor with
the right gear. However, when it comes to physical
fitness for sailing, getting expert guidance has been
largely a matter of luck, a matter of finding a good
training regimen administered by a sailing enthusiast. For
the competitive sailor, luck is not a method. Annapolis
Sailing Fitness can help you get over the line faster.
Safety
is frequently a matter of being capable of handling the
unexpected. Experiened sailors know that, in
extreme situations, the difference between safety and
tragedy can be a matter of physical strength and endurance. Problems
can occur in an instant, and the outcome can be decided
just as quickly. There is no substitute for fitness
in such situations. Even in more gentle circumstances,
the fit sailor is more likely to avoid emergencies. For
the sake of safety, all sailors should be fit. Annapolis
Sailing Fitness knows that, and can help you be ready
for whatever comes your way.
The Solution
Annapolis Sailing Fitness provides a leading-edge approach
to developing physical fitness for sailing. The training
is tailored to the specific requirements of each sailor,
as a synthesis of personal goals, physical characteristics,
special considerations and prudent practice. Primary
emphasis is given to safe progress: enhancing fitness without
causing injury. Within that common-sense limitation,
training can be as aggressive as the sailor desires, but
is always carefully paced and monitored to ensure the best
results without setbacks.
