Cadet Sailing

For cadets in 2012, we will offer Saturday morning training sessions and Thursday evening club sailing sessions, a 4-day sailing week in early June, and a 5-day sailing week in August.

Powerboat Courses

Our powerboat courses are selected to support volunteers who assist with club sailing events. But they will also appeal to novice powerboaters just starting out.

These are 1- or 2-day courses, held at intervals throughout the year, which involve both classroom and on-the-water training. Because the AYC is located a very short distance from the sea, our courses are held both in the river and at sea and so carry a coastal endorsement. The courses held are:

• RYA Powerboat Level 1
• RYA Powerboat Level 2
• RYA Safety Boat
  

Adult Sailing

For adults in 2012, we will offer three 6-week blocks of Tuesday evening sail training.

Race Training

In 2012, we will offer specialist race training for competent sailors looking to improve their race performance
