Start Racing

Confused by the flags and hooters? Not sure about the shouting and chaos on the startline? With theory and practical exercises, these sessions for club members will cover all the basic skills to give you the confidence you need to join in and enjoy club racing.

What's involved?

• A bit of theory: handicaps, typical courses, the start sequence
• Preparing your boat: rigging and tuning
• Getting a good start
• Making best use of the 'Five Essentials' when you're racing
• Lots of practical on-the-water exercises!

The opportunity to work towards the RYA Start Racing module will be offered. Where appropriate, these sessions will join in the Friday Night Race Series with coaching and specific safety boat cover provided for the participants.

When is it?

Friday evenings from 7th May, starts at 17:30.

How much does it cost?

£10 per session, including any kit, equipment and boat hire if required.
