Three sailors took part in the first Sailing Background Knowledge session on 6th December. All three had a fun and interactive time learning new skills and were able to tick off sections of the Sailing Background Knowledge parts of their stage 2 and 3 syllabuses. If you’d like to join in the next session it will be at 10am on 7th February at the Sail HYSTS sailing centre.

Each training session is free, and takes place on a Saturday morning, lasting no more than 90 minutes. Sail HYSTS will provide warm drinks for the young sailors who will be fully insured with the same safeguarding principles applied just as if they were out on the water.

To book a place on a Sailing Background Knowledge training session you can either email or complete the booking form. All the young sailors must be members of Sail HYSTS. A Membership Form can be completed and returned online following the links on that page.

Sail HYSTS will acknowledge the booking. To make the training viable there will need to be three or more young sailors signed up for a session.

We look forward to welcoming young sailors to these training sessions in a few weeks time.
