Llandegfedd Sailing Club
Pathway Training Saturdays
Our Pathway Training Saturdays offer high end coaching for sailors who are looking to progress on the race circuit within Wales and Nationally. We will be offering training at Llandegfedd for the Topper class.
The sessions will be run as a series, with a syllabus that encourages progression. For this reason, we would encourage sailors to commit to all Saturdays as they become available.
Sailors should:
- have completed their RYA Start Racing module (or have equivalent experience) and be comfortable sailing around a course independently.
- be able to stay out on the water for 2 hour sessions.
- have been sailing regularly at a club for at least one season.
- be able to launch and recover their boat (with some support).
- be ready to focus on racing with the concentration and effort that it involves.
Welsh squad sailors are welcome and encouraged to join the training, with the understanding that we will be tailoring the training to those within their first couple of years of being a member of a Welsh squad or hoping to be part of a Welsh squad.
The dates for the Pathway Saturdays are:
10th October 2026
24th October 2026
November dates TBC
March dates TBC
April dates TBC
(These sessions will go ahead depending upon weather conditions and water levels at Llandegfedd).
Refunds will only be given if the session is cancelled by Llandegfedd Sailing Club or if at least 24 hours notice is given.
If a sailor needs to use one of our club Toppers for the training, members should book one using the members area of the website. If you are not a member of LLSC, this can be arranged if you contact us in advance. There will be a £10 charge for the weekend if you are not an LLSC member.
Essential Information
Training will be run between 9.30am and 4.30pm. Boats should be rigged ready. Sailors do not need to be changed into wet kit.
All sailors should bring packed lunch, snacks and water with them on both days.
Please ensure all sailors are dressed for the weather. Winter sailing kit would be recommended in the colder months.
Parents do not need to stay, but emergency contact details must be left at registration, and sailors must be signed in and out each day.
A shore parent will be required to cover the group and must be available on site all day (could be different people each day).
