CCSC Sail Training Program 2014-15

Like last season, there are two courses

Pre-Christmas - commencing Saturday 11 October 2014
6 x 3 hour sessions. 9:00am start
Saturday 11 & 25 October,  1, 15 & 29 November and 13 December
Particularly for trainees that participated last season, building on the introductory course run earlier in the year.

To encourage trainees to participate in the afternoon race program the Club Sabots and Pacers can be available for this purpose, it would be terrific to see some juniors taking that next step in their sailing. 

Learn to Sail - commencing Saturday 31 January 2015
5 x 3 hour sessions fortnightly. 9:00am start
Learn to Sail: An introduction to sailing, intended for absolute beginners - any age - from 5 year old upwards. Boats and safety gear supplied, bring suitable clothing.

The Training program is open and free to financial members of CCSC (small fee for course materials). Note: This is not a Yachting Australia accredited course and no certificate or qualifications are awarded on completion of the program.

• Sailing techniques and basic skills
• Rescue and safety procedures
• Launching and recovery of boats

12ft Cadet Training at RBYC
There is interest from a number of Junior CCSC sailors to participate in the 12ft Cadet dinghy training at Royal Brighton Yacht Club. Ray Smith and crew at RBYC are keen to welcome us back and invite us to join their training program on Sundays.

Trainees acquire new skills and confidence and we hope be inspired to participate in the 86th Stonehaven Cup (to be held in King Island January 2015)

Please note that this training complements - is in addition to - the Saturday morning training program at Cairn Curran. Jo Clifford has been active in organising this activity, please register your interest with her directly 54722175
