Saturday Club

Llyn Brenig Sailing Club’s Saturday Club provides low-cost, closely supervised training to youngsters (aged 7 - 17 years) who wish to start to learn to sail or to develop their skills as ‘newbie’ dinghy sailors.

Participants will be given an initial taste of dinghy sailing - either as ‘crew’ on a dinghy sailed by one of the Instructors or single-handed in a suitable training dinghy - according to their level of confidence.

Thereafter they will receive instruction according to the Royal Yachting Association’s “Get On Board” Youth Sailing Scheme syllabus, which - with satisfactory, regular progress over the three months - will result in the award of either a Stage 1 (Beginner) or Stage 2 (Intermediate) Certificate. No minimum number of sessions is set, but we expect that at least 5 or 6 sessions will be needed for such certification.

Sessions will be held on 10^th May, 31^st May, 7^th June, 21^st June, 12^th July, 2^nd August, 9^th August and 23^rd August, with each date running a morning session from 0930 - 1230 and an afternoon session from 1300 - 1600. Numbers are limited to 8 participants per session to optimise safety and progression - individuals may not attend both sessions on the same day without prior discussion with the Training Principal.
