Topper Cadets training programme

We aim to build confidence and competence in young sailors. During this course, we build on foundations and develop new skills so that the sailors feel comfortable and in control in their boats in a variety of conditions. Sailors will have a solid grounding in the sport and the tools they need to

pursue it further, in whatever capacity they choose. This programme is open to topper sailors that have completed both the introduction to sailing 1 and introduction to sailing 2. Sailors who have completed other sailing programs may join the course after an assessment and recommendation of the coach. 

 

We work on;

  • Boat control
  • Stopping and accelerating
  • Start line boat handling: double tacks, scoops, etc
  • Sail Theory; the function of the sail controls and how to adapt them for conditions and sailing angle
  • Roll tacks and gybes
  • Mark rounding

Description

This is a development group and the minimum entry level to join is the successful completion of the level 2 sailing course. Here sailors will continue to build on their skills and will start venturing outside the harbour when the sailors are ready and the weather permits. They may also occasionally carry out joint sessions with the topper racing group.

Sailors at this level may remain in this group or move on to the topper racer group if they are interested in racing. Entry into the racing groups is by coach invitation only.

 

Note: You are booking  for a reduced term price of 10 weeks.
