Midweek Courses
Racing dinghies is great fun and the techniques are easily mastered by anyone who has learnt the basic skills of sailing. These five day courses are intended to give an in-depth introduction to racing and will include the new RYA ‘Start Racing’ module within the syllabus. This includes; sail and boat trim, racing rules, mark rounding, starting, and finishing.Much of the course will be sailed in our fleet of Feva and Topper dinghies, but also uses two man boats for spinnaker and trapeze experience (if conditions permit).
Previous experience: Applicants must be of at least RYA Junior Stage 3 or RYA Adult Level 2, with experience of helming single handlers, and at least 12 hours sailing since passing level 2.
Winter Dinghy Race Training Series
Our winter training runs in line with the RYA East of Scotland Squad. Offering a series of great coaching weekends, the course will fine tune your skills so that you are ready for the next season. Applicants must be above RYA Stage 4 standard with some racing experience. If you have your own Topper, Feva, or Laser Radial, why not bring it along with you? Toppers and Fevas are also available for hire from Port Edgar.
