Peter Coleman

Peter Coleman

Head Sailing Coach at Sacred Heart University, former Director of Offshore Sailing at the US Naval Academy, and veteran racer and cruiser, Peter has been teaching sailing and coaching racing for decades. His particular gift as a coach is teaching not just “what to do” but also how to figure it out on your own so you can solve the next challenge when you sail without a coach.
He offered the following insight into his work with North U:
“North U is a phenomenal opportunity for sailors at all levels to broaden their experience, both out on the water and ashore. It is a stated goal for us as coaches to bring the talents of all sailors up the learning curve quickly – with an adequate focus on safety at all times. With North U On Board Coaching we deliver valuable content directly to sailors. Whether it be a cruising couple or racing crew we work to address your particular skills and interests  on the best platform – your boat.”
