The YDSC Adult Improvers series comprises of 8 sessions and a regatta. These sessions, run from 1pm-4.30pm (please arrive at 12.30). The sessions are aimed at those graduating from beginner sessions. If you have just bought a dinghy and are needing some support then this is the one for you. It includes an introduction to racing. Use your own boats where possible, but club training boats are available. One booking per person, so 2 needed for a double hander.

COSTS
Tuition at these training sessions is free to members. However, we ask for a voluntary contribution of £10 per person per session towards the cost of fuel for the safety boats and upkeep of training boats and equipment. Please add a further £5 per session if you are using a club boat rather than your own. This will be payable when booking the session. Please bear in mind that none of the coordinators, instructors or helpers receive any financial return for their voluntary efforts.
