YDSC is a RYA Recognised Training Centre and each year we run RYA Young Sailors Holiday Courses, which are three day courses run in the school summer holidays for children aged 10-15.

These are for beginners or improvers and are a great way for those who have been attending the club Saturday morning sessions to fast track their sailing and really get going. Participants can work towards RYA Youth Sailing Scheme Stages 1,2,3,4 or beyond depending on their experience. Sessions will run 10am – 4pm each day.

There will be two courses this year on Tuesday 28th July – Thursday 30st July 2026 and Tuesday 25th – Thursday 27th August 2026. These are both during weeks when the club is open and providing safety cover each day. In the event of a cancellation your course fee will be refunded.

Bookings close 7 days in advance.

Cost: £140 per person, Course participants must be club members (annual junior membership is just £25).
