Youth Learn to Sail
The Youth Learn to Sail Stage stage 1 course will be on the 25/26 May 2024. This course is the first course in the RYA youth sailing scheme and trains young sailors from eight years old, with no prior sailing experience to understand the basic principles of sailing including rigging, launch, recovery and boat steering.
For those that already hold stage 1 there will be a stage 2 & 3 course on the weekend of the 20/21 April 2024, with potential for a further stage 2 & 3 course later in the season depending on demand. On completion of stage 3 the young sailor will be capable of rigging, launching and sailing a dinghy on their own in moderate conditions.
Training is provided by RYA qualified and registered instructors, using boats suitable for young sailors, owned and maintained by the club.
Saturday Fun Club
Fun club will run from 10.00 to 12.30 on alternate weekends throughout May and June, and provides a fun environment for young sailors to develop their skills and gain experience and confidence on the water.
Each week will be a different set of games or free sailing activities that are designed to develop confidence and sailing skills whilst having fun. Occasionally we will have guest coaches from inside and outside the club to gain insight in their special skills.
The youth fun club culminates in the Ogston Youth Gala in early July, when the young sailors form bands of pirates take over the club for a day’s competitions followed by prize giving and award of RYA certificates.
Safety and coaching is provided by competent sailing parents and older members of the youth fleet. Club instructors will also be on hand to provide 1-2-1 coaching for anyone that needs it.
Any club youth member can join in with fun club. For those youth members who have yet to completed the RYA youth scheme stage 1, they must be supervised, by a competent parent or delegated adult who can sail with them.
