TRAINING COURSES FOR SAILING

 

The club offers a variety of sailing courses for adult, junior, and prospective members, whether newcomers to the sport with no previous experience, or those wishing to improve their performance after learning the basics.

 

SAILING TASTER SESSIONS

The training team can offer Sailing Taster Sessions on request for groups or individuals. There will be a fee for these sessions to cover
instructor(s) costs. Fees for group sessions will be charged at £50 per person, and fees for individual 1-1 sessions will be provided on request. These sessions can be hosted using your own boat or using a boat from our training fleet.

 

RACE COACHING

Race Coaching can be provided for both adult and junior members who wish to learn the fundamentals needed to get started in club racing.

Courses will be organised depending on interest. Please contact a member of the Training Committee if you are interested. A basic training fee may be required to help cover costs.

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.
