Training for club members
UYC has a comprehensive programme for delivery of training for juniors who are club members. The courses run in spring and autumn when youngsters are taught in groups and have a chance to mix and get to know each other. The instructors for these sessions are volunteer club members who are all RYA qualified. Training is also offered to club members of any age or level of skills and is particularly popular with family groups. Training for members is offered at a reduced rate.
There is also our annual Sail Camp which is focused on training, as well as fun, and for many of our young members is the highlight of the year.
