2022 Youth Developers (RYA Stage 3&4)
11th - 15 July 2022, 09:00 - 16:30
This is a course for age 11 to 15 students which incorporates RYA Stage 3 and Stage 4
- Stage 3 builds on the skills learnt in RYA Stages 1 and 2 to add essential theory and manoeuvres designed to improve the students single handed boat control.
- Stage 4 build on the skills learnt in single handed dinghies at Stage 3 to apply them to double handed dinghies and their requirements for teamwork as helm or crew. Additional theory including meteorology is also covered.
The course does cover a lot of theory and practical skills, so if you have not sailed much since doing your Stage 2 it would be far better to choose the Youth Single Hander Improvers course.
Typically, Toppers are used for Stage 3 and Cadets for Stage 4
Pre-requisites:
- Age 11 to 15 inclusive.
- Student has completed an RYA Stage 2 course and sails at RYA Stage 2 standard
- Student must also have had experience sailing in a "tippy" boat ie. experience limited to an Optimist dinghy is not sufficient.
- Consider doing the Youth Single Hander Improvers course instead if student has not sailed much since doing Stage 2 or has no experience in a "tippy" boat.
Cost £250 (Frensham member); £350 (non-member)
