Kaikki HSS:n valmentajat ovat koulutettuja. Minimivaatimus on Suomen Purjehdus ja Veneilyliiton ohjaajan peruskurssi. Kaikki valmentajamme ovat purjehtineet itse ja monella on takana oma kilpapurjehdusura. Sports Komitea kantaa vastuun HSS:n valmennustoiminnasta eli se käyttää ylintä päätösvaltaa valmennustoimintaan liittyvissä asioissa. Vastuuvalmentajat ovat vastuussa oman ryhmän harjoitusohjelman suunnittelusta Sports Komitean hyväksymien raamien mukaisesti. Valmentajiamme koulutetaan ja kehitetään jatkuvasti, jotta valmennuksen laatu on paras mahdollinen. Pidämme valmentajistamme hyvää huolta ja haluamme tarjota heille haastavan, kiinnostavan, hauskan ja ennen kaikkea viihtyisän paikan työskennellä!

I started sailing in 2006 in Sea Cadet corps India in the Optimist sailing class and won many regattas in my Opti sailing career in India. Later I sailed the 29er sailing class and many other youth classes. I started coaching in Optimist class in 2012. I have coached ILCA, 29er 470 class, and attended international events like European championships in the Netherlands in 2014 and 2015. Along with these, I have attended various Asian events with 29er classes with the Indian team. I have been part of the J122 sailing yacht team in Mumbai since 2017 as a crew and enjoyed racing in multiple races in India. I represented India in the Nansha International regatta in 2019 in China Fareast 26 class. Prior to HSS, I coached the Open Skiff class in India (2019-2022). We were preparing the teams for the World Championships but couldn’t attend due to Covid.

I am fascinated with any kind of sailing, especially windsurfing, and kiting. I prefer doing match racing. This is the more contact sport and fast chess on the water, as fleet racing is long chess. My dream in sailing: have a women’s team and participate with them in top rating events, and try to win the Round World Race.
