Pay & Play - Adult Dinghy Training 8

Pay and Play is for adult sailing members looking to develop their sailing skills.  

Coaching is provided by RYA instructors and focuses on building skill and confidence in boat handling, seamanship and racing basics in single and/or double handed boats.   

• Registration is at 5:30 - 5:35 pm (preferably in your sailing clothing)
• The training is finished by 8:00 pm

You may use club boats for the session at no additional charge. The decision on which boat to sail will be made by the instructor taking account of your preference and the conditions on the day.

Getting the most from your session:

• Please try to arrive in good time to register already changed into your sailing kit if possible. 
• In April and May we strongly advise a wetsuit and wet boots as the water is still cold, and a rainproof top to reduce windchill.  It'll mostly be colder than you think but an active session will warm you up!  Most importantly, you'll need a buoyancy aid - we have a few to lend until you get a suitable one, on which we can advise.
