2022 Youth Beginners (RYA Stage 1&2)

25th - 29 July 2022, 09:00 - 16:30

This is a course for age 8 to 15 complete beginners to introduce students to sailing. The course incorporates RYA Stage 1 and Stage 2

Typically, Optimists (Oppies) are used for age 8-10 and Toppers for age 10-15.

The first stage introduces the equipment and basic techniques of sailing and brings a steady practical approach to learning sailing in a safe and controlled environment. Students will learn to turn through the wind and learn the information they need to safely sail under the guidance of an instructor.

The second stage builds on the foundation that was created in Stage 1. It introduces the fundamentals of sailing upwind, sailing downwind and gybing. By the end of the course the young dinghy sailors will have learnt to sail in all directions and should be in a good position to keep practicing their skills until they are ready for the third stage of the RYA syllabus.

Pre-requisites:

  • Age 8 to 15 inclusive.
  • No sailing experience necessary.

Cost £250 (Frensham member); £350 (non-member)
