Stage 1 & 2 Flexible Training

Flexible Training is a new development for NDYC to offer formal RYA training at Stage 1 and Stage 2 during the weekends before the summer holidays.  This will give our youngsters a flyiong start to cadet weeks and also open up younger training for those too young to take part in Cadet weeks (limited to 8 years and over).  For those looking to start sailing we offer the Optimists and new RS Tera dinghies, or we can use bigger boats with instructors on board.  Stage 1 training will teach novices the basics of sailing delivering certificated instruction.  For stage 2 we can use the Tera dinghies with bigger rigs iand also larger dinghies.  This is formal training as opposed to Pirates and Privateers and will be instructor lead.

Come and join us for 8 each with approximately 2 hours on the water and 2 hours ashore.  This is a small version of cadet weeks and at the end of the course you will aim to achieve level 1 or 2 certificates and if you wish to (and are able to) go onto Cadet weeks you will get a flying start.
