Weekend Training
Adult Beginners / Improvers
Sessions
This happens regularly on a Saturday morning (during the racing season) 9:30am-12:30pm. For any adult member, or guest to the club, who would like to go for a sail in a supported and structured sailing environment. Sailing involves being aboard a sailing dinghy or keelboat with a Club member. There is also the option of sailing a club boat single handed. If you can stay around until the afternoon, you may be able to get a crew spot aboard a dinghy or keelboat in the club racing.
Youth Beginners / Improvers
Sessions
This normally happens regularly on a Sunday morning (during the racing season) starting at 09:30am until 12:30pm.
Youth training is for any youth member or guest to the club, and involves on the water instruction with powerboat support in either own or hired club boats. In essence it is an environment that helps young people experience the river, fun and safe sailing, the yacht club and meet other youth sailors.
