Adult Dinghy Coaching
Adult Dinghy Training Sessions -12 months of the year!
These sessions are for adult sailors looking to develop their skills and have some fun!
These sessions are designed to help you to improve your sailing skills in a safe environment. They lead on to expanded sailing opportunities including social sailing and racing in the club and beyond.
You can learn:
- to improve your tacking,
- to go faster,
- sailing without a rudder
- sailing with spinnakers
- racing techniques and tactics
- and much more…
With two of our RYA qualified instructors on hand, as a group, we will decide on activities that suit the sailors and conditions. To ensure everyone gets the most from the sessions, we canvas opinion on desired topics / outcomes on our WhatsApp group.
Sessions run every Tuesday evening from April to mid-September and on Saturday mornings September to March.
On Tuesday evenings, registration runs from 5:30 - 5.45, and we aim to be off the water by 7.45 pm. Book your session here.
