Led by expert Fabio Patrignani, the session offered deep insights into what it truly takes to create a safe, fair, and high-performance environment for Beach Sprint racing.

“From beach mapping to in-water positioning, the goal is to create a course that respects the technical needs of the athletes and adapts to the sea,” said Patrignani.

Building a Beach Sprint course goes far beyond simply placing buoys in the water. It requires a clear understanding of:

• Environmental factors such as tides, wind, and wave patterns
• Precise placement techniques using tools like GPS and alignment markers
• Safety standards that ensure a consistent and secure experience for all participants

This webinar was not just theoretical – it provided practical knowledge that coaches, organizers, and coastal rowing enthusiasts can apply directly on their own beaches.

The growing interest in Beach Sprint was clear: over 115 participants joined the session live, reinforcing how this exciting format is capturing the imagination of rowing communities across Europe and beyond.
