Melges 15 Group Training 2026

Coming summer 2026, LMSS is excited to offer Melges 15 group training for the first time ever!

Training will take place every Monday evening during the MYC M15 Champ Series, before and between races, and is designed to help teams prepare, perform, and learn in a focused and fun environment.

Schedule & Format

• 5:00pm - Pre-Race Briefing @ Bug Island

  • Sailors will kick off the evening with a briefing led by one of our most experienced coaches, including Gordy Bowers, Samuel Bartel, and a soon-to-be-announced international sailing coach. Briefings will cover key conditions, strategic considerations for the night’s racing, areas of focus, and team-specific feedback.

• 5:15pm - On-the-Water Warm-Up & Coaching

  • Teams will be guided through structured warm-up drills, with real-time feedback provided during and between drills to help sharpen boat-handling, speed, and decision-making.

• 6:15pm - Racing

  • Champ Series races begin at 6:15pm. Coaches will observe racing from the water, take notes, and provide targeted tips between the first and second races.

• Post-Race Debrief @ Bug Island

  • Following racing, sailors will gather on Bug Island for a short debrief, reviewing key takeaways and lessons from the evening.

As much as possible, LMSS coaches will utilize data from each team’s Vakaros Atlas 2 device, and video from the coach boat, on board cameras, and drones.
