Cadet RYA Stage 3/4, Seamanship + Racing Course Announcement: July 2025

 Weekly July 2025 (Monday-Friday 09:30-1700)

Following the RYA courses for Stage 3/4 + Racing Cadet Improvers courses will run weekly during July 2025. These courses will be open to book in January.

These courses are aimed at cadet members aged 10-16 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.  

Participants should be: between 10-16yrs, 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.
