Training & Regatta 

Our Training + Regatta Programme is designed for sailors who want to go beyond structured coaching and step directly into real offshore racing aboard the Beneteau Figaro 3, the world’s first foiling production yacht. This combined programme blends high-intensity performance training with full participation in a selected Mediterranean regatta, giving sailors the unique opportunity to apply their skills in a competitive environment under professional guidance.

The programme begins in Sivota, Lefkada, where you complete a dedicated block of Figaro 3 performance training focused on advanced trim, foil management, high-speed manoeuvres, race starts, strategy preparation and polar-driven decision making. Each day includes a mix of theory, on-water drills and detailed debriefs using onboard data and GoPro footage to refine technique and build confidence.

Once the training phase is complete, you transition into full race mode and compete as part of the IonianMode Performance Team. You will participate in the chosen event—such as the Aegean Rally , Ionian Regatta, or other offshore and coastal races—while receiving continuous coaching on tactics, boat handling, navigation, routing and crew communication. This unique structure allows you to experience the full journey of a racing sailor: preparation, execution, and performance evaluation.

This programme is ideal for ambitious sailors, offshore racing candidates, Yachtmasters, instructors, or anyone wanting to push their limits and take the step from structured training into competitive sailing. At the end of the event, you will receive a complete performance review, a personal development plan, and the opportunity to join future campaigns with the IonianMode Performance race team.
