We have two sessions of Race Training for 11+ year old Cadets with basic to more advanced sailing skills this week.
The weather is perfect for Sunday’s session, 9mph wind with some sun and not too early!
Friday, July 7th 19.30 On-Shore session in the sail training room. (The Commodore’s bar is still open; no food available)
Sunday, July 9th 10.30 briefing, On-the-water session at 11.00. (Change into wetsuits before 10.30)
The training will include Planning your course and tactics, spotting windshifts, use of tailtails, laylines, starts etc. We will finish with two races. A full programme can be downloaded later in the week.
Unfortunately this weeks Friday Cadet activities will need to be cancelled due to a booking clash at TBYC. It is also the Nore Race Prizegiving with BBQ should you wish to attend Benfleet YC. We will attempt to re schedule at a later date.
Thank you
