On a glorious spring day on Saturday, April 15, Ullswater Yacht Club held the first of a series of Development Days which will take place over the next few months. The target is to provide opportunities for club members to improve their skills both on and off the water. The first session focused on powerboating and rescue techniques whilst others learnt the skills required to co-ordinate racing on the lake. Alongside, an enthusiastic group of junior members were briefed on safety issues and race management.
Edmund Clarke, Sailing Development Manager at UYC said: "It was great to see so many of our members, young and old, looking to improve their skills which will enhance the club's racing, cruising and leisure sailing...bring on the next session."
The next Development Day is on Saturday, June 3.
