Practice Sailing, Rowing and RYA Training Level 2 for Members with Level; 1 - Saturday 10 August
Published 12:10 on 30 Jul 2024
The next Practice sailing session will be on Saturday 10 August from 11:00 to 12:30 on the water. This will be a combined session with the RYA Training to get Members with Level 1 up to Level 2.
This course has been organised to provide an opportunity for those members who have undertaken RYA Level 1&2 training with the Club but, for one reason or another, did not achieve Level 2.
If you believe this course may be appropriate for you but you have not been invited to enrol, please contact Beverley Daniels, our RYA Training Administrator.
Practice Sailing
Although aimed primarily at Cadets and Novices, these sessions provide an opportunity for anyone that fancies going for a gentle sail with patrol boat cover and tractor assistance. The sessions are available most Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings from June until the end of the school summer holiday. Those interested might also find the Coaching sessions of value.
Reservation is not mandatory but if you intend taking part you are encouraged to book via WebCollect (here).
Practice Sailing is a "self-help" activity; those who make use of it will, naturally, want to help run it occasionally. Volunteers are required to act as coordinators, patrol boat drivers and crew, tractor drivers, and beach crew. If you are logged in, the Duty Roster for this event is visible at the foot of this page. To volunteer, go to the Duty Roster, scroll to the appropriate day and click on the appropriate Volunteer button.
Each session will be subject to a minimum of three dinghies, a wind strength of F4 or below and sufficient volunteers to run it. For more detail read the Practice Sailing section of the SOP or go to the website Practice Sailing page.
The Club Boats page may also be relevant. To book a Club Boat, go to WebCollect.
Precise dates and times will be published in the Practice Sailing Programme.
Rowing
The next Practice Rowing session will be on Saturday 27 July at 10:00.
During each Practice Sailing session, the Club's Bursledon Gig will be available for rowing practice. Rowing may start up to 30 minutes before the Practice Sailing session is scheduled to begin.
All rowing at Seafarers is carried out in accordance with the SSC Rowers Handbook (here). Thus, rowing will only take place during a Practice Sailing session if an appropriately authorised member has volunteered to act as Gig Monitor.
To volunteer to act as Gig Monitor, go to the Duty Roster, scroll to the appropriate day and click on the Volunteer button for Gig Monitor.
If you are interested in rowing at a particular session, you are advised to make this known via WhatsApp.
For more details about rowing at the Club, including how to join the Rowing WhatsApp Group, read the Rowing section of the SOP or go to the website Rowing page.
