    Achieve Excellence on the Water with Afrodite Zegers

    Whether you're just starting your sailing journey or striving for Olympic-level performance, we offer expert coaching that covers everything from boat handling to race strategies.

    At Afrodite Performance Sailing, we believe that boat speed starts in the head.

    As founder of this company, my experience on the Olympic 470 circuit and in the Star Sailors League taught me a crucial lesson: technical skill gets you to the regatta, but mindset wins it. With over 20 years of professional experience, including two Olympic Games, I bring a unique blend of sailing expertise and mental coaching to help you elevate your skills. Along with personalized coaching, we provide top-quality Olimpic sails and Fighter Optimist boats, designed for performance and durability.

    We don't just coach tacking angles and start-line triggers; we coach the human being holding the tiller. Our holistic approach integrates Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and mental performance tools to build athletes who are not just physically dominant, but emotionally resilient.

    We focus on:

    • Reframing Pressure: Transforming "nerves" into "readiness" using specific NLP anchors.
    • Sustainable Intensity: Teaching athletes to peak for the big events without burning out in training. The goal isn't just to win the Optimist Worlds; it's to ensure they are still eager to race when they are 25.
    • The Communication Loop: In double handed or more, a silent boat can be a slow boat. We teach young sailors how to articulate their tactical decisions clearly and calmly, a skill that serves them in the boat and in life.

    We build champions who love the ocean. Because if you stop loving the sport, the fast lane eventually closes.

    The Platform: IODA Optimist "Fighter" Assessment by Afrodite Performance Sailing

    When we talk about the "Pathway to the Podium," equipment isn't just about rules compliance; it's about responsiveness. I have selected the Blueblue "Fighter" for this quotation because it aligns with our holistic philosophy: a boat that rewards good kinetics and tactical aggression.

    This isn't a toy; it is a Regatta Boat with Certificate, designed for the high-performance athlete. The "Fighter" hull is stiff, reactive, and built to transfer every ounce of hiking effort into boat speed. We have spec'd this hull with Harken hardware to ensure that when your sailor pulls the trigger on a start or eases for a 20-knot gust, the systems work friction-free.

    This package includes everything required to go from the boat park to the race course—fully race-tuned and ready for the grind.
