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. 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!
