The Optimist Development programme is aimed at sailors who aim to compete in events and other competitions in 2022.  We believe there is demand for a performance group and a development group.  The performance group will consist of already experienced sailors who have competition experience, but did not meet the IODAI rankings in 2021 and qualify for the DOGS Winter training, and also the sailors moving from regatta fleet to main fleet in 2022 competitions.

The National Yacht Club Junior Committee is making preparations for Summer Courses 2022 for our junior sailors.

Provisional dates:

Course 1 – 7th June – 17th June (9 days)
Course 2 – 20th June – 1st July (10 days)
Course 3 – 4th July – 15th July (10 days)
Course 4 – 18th July – 29th July (10 days)
Course 5 – 2nd August – 12th August (9 days)

Courses will be offered in start sailing, basic skills, improving skills, advanced boat handling, start racing, kites and wires, team racing, adventure and advanced racing.

Courses will be run in Optimists, Toppers, Lasers, Fevas, 29ers and the club Wayfarers and Ventures.  The club has a small number of boats for charter for members who want to try out a different boat over the summer. 

Courses this year will be restored to the full day, from 9am-5pm.  Lots more time learning on the water, social time with friends during lunch and great for working parents!  If your Junior Sailors like it, you can book more than one course – depending upon demand.

Work is underway by the Committee to improve the Summer offering – from coaching standards to shore management to pricing to interclub, fun racing and lots more.

The opening of course registration and other updates will be announced later.
