What to expect...

It’s just a few days out from the Season 4 finale of SailGP, with the showdown set to take place in San Francisco on 13/14 July. In a break with the usual format for Road To Gold Q&A live calls, we’ll be looking at the unique challenges of SailGP with someone who knows best, Jacopo Plazzi.

 

Coach to the Swiss team, Jacopo has been working closely with usual skipper Seb Schneiter as well as veteran ‘stand-in’ skipper Nathan Outteridge. Looking back through recorded footage of SailGP races, Jacopo will explain some of the strategies, tactics and course-management priorities on the race track.

 

Following an Olympic career in the 49er where he achieved a European bronze medal, Jacopo is also working alongside Road To Gold’s resident coach, Hamish Willcox, as part of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli programme. Jacopo is coach and Youth & Women’s Coordinator to the Italian America’s Cup campaign, so there’s also an opportunity to ask Jacopo about his work there, and how it compares with SailGP.

Join Road To Gold regulars Hamish Willcox and Andy Rice for an hour of go-faster conversation with Jacopo. This is YOUR opportunity to put questions to the one of the best all-round sailing and coaching talents – just put your email above and we'll send you the invite 1 hour before kick off.

You'll also get invites to our future Q&A calls with the world's top sailors and coaches.

“Road To Gold brings novices together with Olympic, World and America’s Cup winners. Please find me a similar platform in any sport – Tennis, F1, NFL, soccer, basketball, swimming, track & field etc – where the sport’s legends reveal their secrets and talk regularly to the community… You won’t!”

Andreas Kosmatopoulos, 470 World Champ & 5x Olympian

“What I think is great about Road To Gold is that it brings sailors together. It provides a platform to share detailed, unique knowledge. I think it's a really important thing, and I have to commend you guys on making this possible for the sailors that haven't had access to the extremely experienced coaches that some teams have.”

Mat Belcher, Olympic 470 Legend

Where else can you get personal advice from world-beating sailors like these?

“This training tool has been missing from sailing. I think it is fantastic that Hamish has put this together. Road To Gold is not only a great tool for coaches, but sailors can use it to self-coach themselves and assess how they're going.”

Sir Russell Coutts Olympic gold medallist, 5x America's Cup winner
