Practice Sailing - Tuesday 22 July

Published 09:50 on 10 Jul 2025

Tuesday Practice Sailing Sessions run from Mid June until the end of the school summer holidays. They will run from 18:30 to 20:00 on the water

Although aimed primarily at Cadets and Novices, Practice Sailing sessions provide an opportunity for anyone that fancies going for a gentle sail with patrol boat cover and tractor assistance.

If you intend taking part, please book via WebCollect (here). This helps us establish how many adults and how many cadets will be present and how many volunteers we need to run the session safely

A similar activity, Development Sailing, will take place on most Saturday mornings during the same period. Hopefully, an RYA Dinghy Instructor will be available for these sessions.

Those interested in Practice Sailing or Development Sailing might also find the Coaching sessions of value.

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, simply scroll down and click on the appropriate Volunteer button. Alternatively, 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.
