IMPROVING YOUR SAILING
For those members who have attended a training course, to improve your skills we are normally able to lend you club owned boats to practice in, for your first year. These boats may only be used with the prior knowledge of a member of the training committee and will only be available if not being used for training purposes.
Any additional training that is organised will be notified by email, the club website, Social Media and posters at the club.
