SYT Block 1 - Week 1
Spinnaker Youth Training is our club's regular youth training programme, running for 18 weekends a year during term time! Blocks of SYT run for 6 weeks at a time. Please book your space via week 1, you then have a space for all 6 weeks. For those sailors representing Spinnaker Sailing Club at events away from the lake please speak to the Chief Instructor to receive your reduced rate to allow for sessions missed.
Our training is split into several groups:
RYA Beginners - Working through the RYA Stage 1 or 2 Certificate as appropriate. Boats are provided for this group.
