RYA Cadet Stage 1 or 2 Dinghy Sailing Course

16th - 17 May  ·  Ely Sailing Club, Roswell Pits, Prickwillow Road, Ely, Cambs CB7 4TX

The RYA Young Sailors Scheme has been developed to encourage young people to learn to sail in Stages within a sound framework of safety and tuition. The minimum age for any of our courses is 8 years. No time limits are given for the different Stages, as children learn at very different rates, according to their age and enthusiasm. With each of the stages expressed in terms of competencies, it gives instructors the flexibility to sign off each part of the syllabus as competence in that skill is demonstrated. Nobody can fail - they may just need a little more time and experience. Certificates are not awarded simply for attending a course. If your child falls into this category we do not want them to feel they have failed in any way. Our aims are to ensure they will have had a lot of fun, learn a great deal and want to continue sailing in the future.

Please note, whilst these courses are delivered together, your child will receive only a stage 1 or 2 certificate dependent on their ability at the end of the course as all children learn at different rates.

These courses are currently open for members only to book. They will open to non-members (and include season membership) a little later in the season.
