Practice/Development Sailing

Practice Sailing will be available on Tuesday evenings from 18:30 from early June to the end of the school holiday. Over the same period, when it would not conflict with other sailing/training events, Development Sailing will take place on Saturday mornings from 11:00. Precise dates and times are published in the Practice/Development Sailing Programme.

Although aimed primarily at Cadets and Novices, these activities will provide an opportunity for anyone that fancies going for a gentle sail with Patrol Boat and Tractor support. Development Sailing is very similar to Practice Sailing with the difference that, hopefully, an RYA Dinghy Instructor or Assistant Instructor will be available.

Reservation is not mandatory but if you intend taking part you are encouraged to book via WebCollect (here).

Club Boats are available for these sessions subject to the normal rules on a first-come-first-served-basis or pre-booking via WebCollect (here), but formal Training will always have priority.

If you would like to volunteer to help with these sessions, please volunteer via the Duty Roster or the Practice/Development Sailing Programme.

Detailed information on Practice Sailing is given in Section 10 of the SOP. This includes the conditions for sailing to take place, guidance notes for the Coordinator, information on Emergency procedures, and an example of a 'Signing In' sheet.
