A benefit of being a Sunderland Yacht Club member is the sail training programme which takes place almost every Friday evening throughout the Spring and Summer months. The object of the SYC sail training programme is to develop the sailing skills of our members within a safe and structured environment. It is structured to encourage junior members onto the water in sailing dinghies, but is also open to adults who wish to learn. Since attaining RYA Volvo Championship Club status, SYC has access to RYA coaching resources proving a great benefit to those taking part. Through continued investment the club also owns the necessary equipment required to successfully organise and run training events. You don't even need to own your own boat to participate. We would however ask for the support of parents or guardians in assisting with the running of training sessions, whether that be shore based or on the water.
Training Dates for 2010 are:
Normal Start Time - Ready, Changed & Rigged for 6:30pm
| Date (Friday) | Comments |
The SYC Training Team consists of a small number of members who either hold or are working towards a coaching qualification or are competent dinghy sailors. We would welcome any additional assistance from club members. If you have 1 or 2 hours free on a Friday evening, and are keen to help then please come along to a session or contact: sycsailing@yahoo.co.uk
