Youth Training (Cadets)

Youth and Cadet training is a major part of our training programme and now also features the reformation of our Youth Squad that will meet regularly through out the year in supervised sessions both afloat and ashore.

Formal Training follows RYA syllabus from level 1-4. You will be formally taught by our RYA sailing instructors.  Some training can be arranged mid week and in school holidays, however the biggest events are Cadet weeks 1-3 run during August that culminate with Pelican week which is the very popular junior racing week at the end of August.

The RYA provides us with strict guidelines on how children should be treated and the measures we as a club should take to ensure their safety and protection. This is complemented by NDYC safeguarding and welfare policies and staff.  For information click here.
