Youth Sailing

10th to 14th July 2024

This year there will be a slightly different format to this event as we want to encourage more Lasers to join in. The youth Lasers will sail as a group with the instructors taking it in turns to coach each other and the Topper sailors. The final weekend will be organised as a regatta for the Lasers with all Laser sailors encouraged to join in. the Laser Tiller will be presented to the top under eighteen Laser sailor and there will be another award for the top Laser :-

In view of the nature of dinghy sailing at Needs Ore, if you are joining this week for the first time, you must be competent at sailing a boat on your own, have your blue pennant (or equivalent RYA certificate) and be at least 12 years old. You must have your own boat, or borrow one for the week. If you are a Laser sailor you use a 4.7 or radial rig. All boats should be ready, complete at Needs Ore before the event, please check for all equipment not just the boat (ie rudders sails spars etc). It is best to rig your boat in the garden before you bring it down to Needs Ore.

Please make sure all boats have a BRSC tag.

The starting time is *** bring a picnic lunch. Further details will be emailed closer to the event. You must bring sailing shoes or wet suit boots, life jacket and a change of dry clothes. We recommend you bring a wet suit. Parents will be needed to help with rescue boat/shore duties and I would be grateful if volunteers could contact June or

It is Club policy to insist that all boats carry third party insurance. If you do not already have insurance, please refer to Noble Marine. You will also have received forms by email which must be returned to June before 15th June along with a cheque/bank transfer to secure your place.
