Sailing and Race Development Session 7

THURSDAY EVENING SAILING AND RACE DEVELOPEMENT

The Thursday evening Sailing and Race Development course will introduce you to racing in a sociable, supportive environment.

There are 8 sessions at the beginning of the season which start at 6pm. There is no charge for this course.

These sessions are suitable for all levels - novice, intermediate and expert. Your standard of sailing is not important, as long as you are able to get around a course on all points of sail.

This is an ideal opportunity to venture into racing and compete against other sailors in a low key and relaxed environment. The aim is to have fun at the same time as developing racing skills.

The sessions are not simply about racing, but about improving boat handling skills, getting to know your boat and feeling more confident on the water.

Each session will begin with a briefing, which will look at the tide, wind, course and starting sequence. We will then run a number of short courses to practice each new skill.

Experienced sailors from the club will give advice on boat preparation, sailing manoeuvres, racing rules, tactics and how to get a good start.
