Adult Improvers
Tuesday night is our senior ‘improver’ night. This is a night when Adults, new or returning to sailing, can come to the club to sail. If they wish, they can get a coaching session to provide skills to work on. Then they are free to sail, where the coach can keep an eye on them to ensure they get assistance if needed and get back to the club safely. If the weather is not suitable, on shore coaching may be available. Club boats (ILCA/Sunburst) can be hired on a try-before-you-buy basis; however, adults are required to use their own boats after 3-4 sessions. Please ask to join the adult improvers WhatsApp group if you are interested in these sessions.
