Although coaching was due to start slightly earlier, the abundance of working parties in March and the added complication of a Powerboat meeting has meant that the coaching sessions planned for this year will be starting this coming weekend, Saturday 2nd April. Following requests from members, this year we are introducing adult coaching/improver/refresher sessions. Read on for further details.
The first session on Saturday 2nd of April will be for Adults only, Junior coaching will return the following weekend. The Junior Coaching Group can expect e-mails if they are on the mailing list.
The Adult sessions are aimed at those members who may have recently taken a course or who did a course some time ago and are feeling a bit rusty. Members looking to improve their racing skills would also benefit. The sessions will be run by Sailing School instructors and coaches. The sessions are NOT aimed at complete beginners, anyone wanting to learn from scratch should take the RYA level 1 & 2 courses. We will tailor the sessions to the requirements of the participants. As we will not be bound to a set syllabus we will be able to concentrate on the areas you would prefer. There will be a charge of £20 per person per session which will run from 0930 to around 1600. The galley may well be persuaded to open if we get sufficient numbers. For the first session though a packed lunch will be required although we will of course have access to microwaves and kettles.
Future sessions will incorporate both Junior and Adult coaching, don’t worry we will keep you separated!
