It’s a Trap!

Good trapeze technique starts with good habits. It’s all about balance and control.

Zach Railey, Beijing 2008 silver medalist, came out of Olympic sailing "retirement" at the Finn Gold Cup in October 2015. In a release from US Sailing Team Sperry, Railey said it has been a difficult but enjoyable task to get ready for the Olympic selection events. “I’ve been back in boat for five months, and am now back to the right weight for the boat. I’m training with friends and enjoying it. In the last two months I’ve improved a lot, and that should only continue over the next six weeks [until the second selection event in Barcelona, Spain].”
