Bruno Fontes coaching a national team clinic on the water
Team Fontes · Worldwide

International Camps Train where the
world is decided.

ILCA training camps at world championship venues, in the weeks before the championship. Olympic-level coaching by Bruno Fontes and partner coaches who still compete at the front of the fleet.

The Team Fontes method

Four pillars.
One system.

Every camp runs on the same method that took Bruno to three Olympic Games as an athlete, two as a coach, and to the ILCA 7 Master world title in 2025. It is the same method behind Lijia Xu's Olympic gold and Jorge Zarif's world championship.

01
Technical

Boat speed

Setup, hiking, steering and trim, measured against the coaches on the water and reviewed on video the same day.

02
Tactical

Race intelligence

Starts, first beat, fleet management and mark roundings. Learn to read the venue, not just sail on it.

03
Physical

Hiking that lasts

Sailing-specific strength and endurance from the author of Hiking Like a Champion.

04
Mental

Performance mindset

Routines, pressure and decisions under fatigue. The difference between a good day and a championship.

All editions

The calendar.

Each camp follows a championship. Same course, same wind, weeks before the fleet arrives.
