Start to Race
Each course is run over two days, where we maximise the time spent on the water. However students may require additional reading or individual practice to achieve the stage standard. All our courses are supervised by an RYA Senior Instructor, and led by RYA Qualified Instructors, and a fee applies. See the column on the left or the training calendar for upcoming RYA Youth Training events and details.
