Cadet Learn to Sail Week: RYA Seamanship & Spinnakers
8-12 July 2024 (09:30-1700)
Following the two RYA courses for Seamanship & Spinnaker Dinghy Sailing these courses are aimed at cadets aged 11-16 who have already achieved their Stage 4 and who are ready to progress and develop more advanced sailing skills. Weather permitting, it is hoped that attendees will achieve a RYA sailing certificate.
ELYC training programs are run by a professional team, supported by volunteers.
This course is open to club members only. We welcome all new members, and have lots of year round activities on and off the water.
Participants must take out an Annual Membership of East Lothian Yacht Club before or when applying for a course. If you are not already a member you can join here.
Please note that an Annual Membership is required to book this course. (Although there is an option to pay your membership monthly, please understand that you are committing to an annual membership).
Participants should be: between 11-16yrs, confident in the water and able to swim 50m in light clothing.
Participants are supplied with Buoyancy Aids and Safety Helmets but are required to provide their own wetsuits, boots, etc. The Course FAQs can also provide you with additional information.
Certificates are awarded through the RYA scheme, and only awarded when skills can be shown at the correct level. It should be noted that while the club will endeavour to support all participants to achieve their certificate completion is not always possible, as abilities and confidence vary and the weather can provide some challenging conditions.
