The Club is hosting sailing courses for young people (11-18) during the school holidays:

Dates for 2008 are listed below.
Weymouth Outdoor Education Centre will provide the Instructors and we hope to be able to offer RYA young sailors the following levels:
-
Stage 1: For beginners (under 10), any child that wants to crew safely with the cadets.
-
Stage 2: Needed by all young sailors wishing to join as cadets and to helm a boat.
-
Stage 3: The Stage 3 qualification is roughly equal to the adult level 2.
-
Stage 4: Covering double-handed sailing and seamanship in more detail.
Instructors work with up to 6 participants and will be brought in depending on total number of course applicants. Courses can run with less than six, but only if financially viable. If a course cannot be filled a full refund, or a place on an equivalent course run at the WOEC premises will be offered, provided spaces are available. If you have to cancel a refund will be available, provided another child can fill the space.
Please note:
-
The courses are available for club members only.
-
Optibats and Toppers will be available for hire if a child does not have their own boat (£10 per day).
-
I would be grateful for offers of help from parents who can be around the club at the start and end of the day to help support the courses.
-
All children should bring their own packed lunch, drinks, wet gear, and warm clothing and buoyancy aid.
