“This is a fun focussed, intermediate level sailing stage, between the Learn to Sail & Centreboard Racing”
About
After graduating from our Learn to Sail programme from level 1, level 2 and to level 3, the sailors will build upon all the basic and racing skills already acquired during the Level 1 to 3 courses and gain general confidence and experience in sailing without any pressure.
The Centreboard Cadets will have the opportunity to spend half the day’s session developing their sailing skills with fun water activities and games and potentially the other half with the BBYC Centreboard group on their race days with the racing fleet.
Other sessions could include easy destination sails or get a chance to sail one of our other BBYC boats such as the RS Fevas, O’pen Skiffs, or the Keel Boat J24s to gain a wider sailing experience.
Cost: tbc
Availably: Program dependant on instructor availability

Sailing Gear: Your own Optimist or O’pen Skiff or we offer sailors the chance to rent a boat from BBYC. Buoyancy Aids.

- We have a fleet of six BBYC fibre glass racing optimists and a fleet of eight BBYC O’pen Skiffs available to rent.
- The Fibre Glass Optimists are much faster than the Plastic Optimists from the Learn to Sail program and are what our Green Fleet and Top Optimist sailors use.
