Youth Race Training 2012

We will be running a series of youth race training days in 2012 for young sailors who are at least stage 3 standard or stage 2, and have started to race.

Days will cost £20 per head (own boat) or £30 (club topper).

Sat 14th April

Sat 26th May

Sat 18th August

Sat 8th September

Sat 6th October

Sailors are welcome to attend as many of these as they can; there is no obligation to come to all of them.

For April / October, warm sailing clothing is recommended; either thicker wetsuits or drysuits might be a good idea, fleecy hats and sailing gloves also recommended.

To book, please fill in an application form (available here) and post back with payment.

Sailors must be stage 2 to take part.. The aim of fun Fridays is to build confidence and get lots of practice sailing. By the time our young sailors know it all and are teeming with confidence, we will ask them to move on up to novice racing. “Fun Fridays” is a stepping stone to that.

The cost of a “Fun Fridays” session is £8, plus £5 if you need to hire a wetsuit. We will sell off our old stock of junior wetsuits for £30, so if you plan to attend several sessions, it will be much cheaper to buy your own wetsuit. Please note that your junior annual club membership (currently £15 per year) must also be paid up for you to take part in Fun Fridays. Session times are from 6.30-8.30pm.

There are some 2^nd hand wetsuits for sale in the clubhouse, and a notice board for adverts if you have any outgrown wetsuits looking for new homes!

Friday Night Novice Racing

Novice racing will resume mid May 2012
