| Training 2012 - Schedule
This year the Club is offering RYA Young Sailors Scheme, Adult level 1&2 and Powerboat courses. In the above Schedule you will find dates and details of the sailing courses throughout 2012. We have included details of minimum entry requirements / course syllabi to aid members in deciding which courses are suitable for those taking part. If you are not sure which course is the suitable one to apply for, please seek advice from the office as refunds cannot be made where a candidate is entered for an unsuitable course. Bookings for all courses are now open.
Race Training for Oppie, Mirror, Topper, and Lasers will follow a similar pattern as in previous years. The minimum entry requirement is RYA Young Sailors Stage 3 or equivalent experience (those who are not at this level will not be accepted on the course).
The Club has 14 dinghies for training (Oppies RS Fevas and Laser Bahias). These boats are available for those taking part in RYA Young Sailors Scheme, National Sailing Scheme and Sail Training Fun Weeks (not Race Training).
Sail Training Fun Week:- A opportunity to consolidate previous courses in a safe and informal sailing/ training week without the pressure of working towards a formal qualification.
Own Boat Tuition
Own Boats Used For Training: If a boat is not considered in suitable condition nor suitably equipped for training, we reserve the right to refuse it going on the water necessitating immediate collection by parent, with no recourse to refund. In checking the equipment on the boats, only very minor repairs or additions may be undertaken by the Instructors on behalf of the Club. Parents must sign the disclaimer that their charge's boat has adequate buoyancy. Boats used for tuition must be insured to at least £2m Third Party Liability and this must include for use on training courses. All precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of all participants and boats, but due to the nature of learning, boats may have minor collisions. The instructors are not responsible for any damage to the boats taking part.
