Optimist Sailing - Around The Course - With Pilo Rocha

This week, Pilo Rocha gives us a glimpse of how he gets around the race course in light wind. We also get a glimpse of how quick his 360's are, and why it's important to always be as fast as possible with your penalty turns!

Pilo grew up sailing Optis in Argentina where he won many regattas such as Mar De Plata and was 2nd at the 1993 Opti Worlds (ARG 1st in Team Racing). Pilo brings over a decade of experience coaching the Optimist Class in the United States. He has coached 4 different sailors to Team Trials victories, as well as numerous wins by his sailors at Nationals, Orange Bowl, and other major regattas. For 2018 he was selected as the Team USA Coach for the World Championships in Cypress and had 2 sailors in the top 5!
