TRAINING
Spinnaker Club is a fully registered RYA Training Centre. Under the guidance of fully qualified professional instructors Spinnaker Club runs a full programme of RYA training courses for Dinghy Sailing, Powerboating and also shorebased theory courses.

The Club has a large fleet of boats available for training including 6 Optimist, 4 Topper, 1 Laser, 6 RS Quba, 6 RS Feva, 3 RS Vision, 6 Firefly, 2 Laser Stratos and 1 Wayfarer. Members are also welcome to use their own boats for tuition.

Training is available to Members and non Members alike. Non Club Members are required to take out a Training Membership. Annual Training Membership rates for 2012 are £33 for adults and £21 for children under 18. This is a great way of accessing training and trying sailing and club life before deciding whether to become a full Member of the Club and continue to progress through sailing recreationally or joining in Club racing. If you decide to take out full membership of the club within 6 months of Training Membership expiry then we deduct any Training Membership fees from the cost of full membership.

Following training, Members can progress in the safe environment of our 60-acre lake to develop their sailing skills until they are confident in virtually any weather. Spinnaker Club Members have the major advantage that

they can sail in almost any condition and without the concerns of tide and strong winds.

A number of Spinnaker Club Members started in the Optimist at the Club and have now gone on to represent Great Britain at International events in a variety of classes as well as and major yachting regattas around the world.

Please look through our courses for this year. If you would like more information about any of the courses or are looking for something slightly different please contact the Club on 01425 483692 or email: theoffice@spinnakerclub.co.uk
