Llandegfedd Sailing Club
Pathway Training Weekends
Our Pathway Training weekends will 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 remaining 4 weekends will be run as a series, with a syllabus that encourages progression. For this reason, we would encourage sailors to commit to all 4 weekends (take advantage of a 15% discount for payment upfront). If cost is a factor in signing up to all weekends at once, please contact us on squad.admin@llandegfedd.org.uk to arrange alternative payment options.
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 weekends, 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 remaining Pathway Weekends are:
18th & 19th October 2025
22nd & 23rd November 2025
14th & 15th March 2026
25th & 26th April 2026
(These weekends will go ahead depending upon weather conditions and water levels at Llandegfedd).
If a sailor needs to use one of our club Toppers for a weekend, 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).
*For the remaining dates in 2025, we ask some parents, if possible, to please be available for recovery of boats both at lunch time and the end of the day. The access to the lake is currently difficult so please dress for mud!
