Tractor Driving
ELYC uses the tractor to safely launch and recover the RIBs.
Run by Donald Mackinnon, this training session will demonstrate how to drive the tractor and hitch the RIBs correctly.
After completing the training, you will need to send your drivers licence details to the Treasurer (treasurer@elyc.org.uk) to be added to the Club's insurance.
You cannot drive the tractor without being added to the insurance.
If you are interested, please email rescue@elyc.org.uk

Want to keep up your skills over winter? Then these sessions are for you. Run by Will and Ellen, these sessions will focus on making you a fast and decisive sailor.
As we did last year, the morning will be focussing on a specific manoeuvre/leg/mark rounding and the afternoon will comprise a series of short races, that will make up a series! The days will start with a briefing at 10am, followed by a short lunch break and then an afternoon of racing, finishing by 4pm. Club boats are available to hire at the usual cost. You must have a minimum Stage 2 or equivalent experience.
2) Under 18's require a parental consent form which must be completed prior to dinghy hire.
The key aim of Friday Sailing sessions is to have fun! Friday Sailing is a great opportunity to get out on the water and practice the skills you have learnt or have a relaxing sail at the end of the week in a safe, friendly, structured and controlled environment. Friday Sailing is run by a team of volunteers.
1) All sailors registering for advanced groups must have their Stage 2 (youth) or Level 2 (adult) or equivalent and be confident enough to helm a boat in reasonable conditions.
2) The beginner groups are aimed at those who have not yet obtained their level/stage 2 or would perhaps prefer to sail with an experienced instructor to gain confidence.
3) All members should ensure they have appropriate equipment for the weather and conditions, to include personal buoyancy. Please also remember that it can get cold on the water, at any time of year.
4) ELYC cannot supply buoyancy aids and helmets for use during Friday Sailing.
