Junior Week
Great fun on and off the water for all our Juniors
From Tuesday 20th to Saturday 24th August 2024
This fun week is for Juniors aged from 5 to 17, and includes 4 days of RYA training and coaching, a Junior Regatta and prize giving. 18 year olds are permitted when their birthdays are between 1st January and 31st October inclusive.
Format of the week:
Tuesday to Friday - 4 days of either RYA Youth Sailing Scheme training, or race coaching (Juniors are grouped according to their age and experience). Briefing each day at 09:45 (10:30 on the first day) with approximately 16:00 finish, followed by evening meal.
Saturday - Junior Regatta with racing for all Juniors who have participated in the week, or paid the daily fee. Different courses suitable for all levels, to practice the skills they have learned, followed by BBQ and prizegiving.
Price includes RYA Youth Sailing Scheme log book, certification, refreshments, lunch and evening meal for Juniors.
How it works:
No previous experience needed, but could be beneficial.
You can use your own boat and water sports clothes, but we do have a limited supply for loan, subject to availability.
Each Junior needs to be a member of the club (full or provisional membership).
Parent, guardian, or in-loco parentis, must be on site to supervise your Junior at all times.
Everyone helps!
The week is kindly supported by volunteers who coach, helm and crew safety boats, organise and clean up. Please let us know if you have RYA qualifications and can help on the water!
Each parent will help for one whole day in the galley (morning preparing food, cooking, serving and finish after evening meal cleaned away), for each of their Juniors.
Costs:
The cost for the week is £160 for members (deposit £40 on booking). If you are not a member, provisional Junior Week membership is an additional £10 per junior, for the week.
Optional daily rate, if you can't attend all week, is £35 members / £40 non-members.
