YOUTH PROGRAMME

The Bucklands Beach Yacht Club Youth Programme is for the more experienced sailors that have completed Junior Learn to Sail Level 1 to 3, and/or have prior experience sailing single-handed and double-handed boats at a similar level. This programme will help your young sailors improve their sailing techniques and work as a team in preparation for racing or cruising.

The curriculum includes:

• Advanced boat handling skills
• Local weather and tide effects
• Racing strategy and tactics
• Communication skills
• Specific sailing fitness guidance

We will primarily base the course either in our RS Feva’s, but we may also have opportunities to train in the 420 sailing dinghies and/or J24 Keel Boats.
