Youth Intermediate Sailing Course (RYA Stage 3)
A 10 week course on a Monday or Wednesday evening for sailors probably in their second or third season, who are either working towards Stage 2, or have already achieved Stage 2 and want to develop their skills so that they can progress to Race Training on a Thursday evening.
Sailors should by now also be able to enter the CYRCs, and other events, or even apply for the Regional Development Squads!
The Youth Sailing scheme is usually completed in small dinghies suitable for the size of the sailor, but courses can also be completed in keelboats and multihulls. Our expert instructors offer a safe environment for children to have fun, learn and challenge themselves.
