Congratulations to our new RYA Stage 1 & 2 graduates!

Huge congratulations to all of our junior/ youth sailors who successfully completed their RYA Stage 1 & 2 course!

The four-day course, delivered over three weekends, gave our young sailors the chance to develop their skills, build confidence and spend plenty of time out on the water. They experienced a real variety of sailing conditions, from ideal learning weather to some breezier sessions that challenged them to put their new skills into practice. Its been fantastic to see the progress each sailor has made, with determination, growing confidence and lots of smiles throughout the course.

Courses like these wouldn't be possible without the amazing support of our volunteers. A huge thank you to our Senior Instructor, Paul Bartlett who lead the course, and the fantastic team of instructors and support volunteers who generously gave their time, energy and encouragement over the three weekends. We would also like to thank all the parents and families for their support and enthusiasm, helping make the course such an enjoyable experience for everyone.

We hope to see all of our newly qualified sailors back at the club soon, enjoying more time on the water, building on everything they have learned and becoming part of our growing sailing community. Congratulations once again to everyone involved!
