Introduction to Racing - Beginner Race Training (Cruising conversion)
The perfect opportunity to try yacht
racing.
Perhaps you've got your RYA Day skipper and have been
cruising and are now looking to see how racing compares? Or maybe
you are a regular dinghy racer looking to make the move to yacht
racing? There are very few opportunities for
people with no previous yacht racing experience to get a chance to
go racing, so at Sailing Logic we have the perfect solution.
Our Introduction to Racing weekend course covers everything you
need to get started in yacht racing and takes place over a single
weekend and combines a day of training/teaching with a day of
racing in a local regatta, where you actually compete against
regular crews! Perfect as a cruising-conversion course, and
an ideal refresher for rusty
racers.
Saturday Training Day - starts at 9.30am in
POrt Hamble with coffee and a safety brief before heading out onto
the water where you will develop your teamwork and learn the basics
of the different racing manoeuvres. Saturday evening we will moor
up in Hamble where you can enjoy a group meal out.
Sunday is race day! Put into practice all you
have learned when you race in the Hamble Winter Series or Warsash
Spring Series! You can join the course again for a second week to
really consolidate your learning and build on your previous race
experience.
This is an ideal way to get a taste of inshore
racing. You will experience the excitement of close racing
under the watchful eye of our experienced race skipper and first
mate. After completing this course you will be familiar with the
concept of round the cans racing and will ready to move onto the
next stage, which could include the popular Round the
Island Race, or racing at Cowes Week or join us for the
remining races of the Hamble Winter Series! You may
also want to consider the Race
Development Course.
If you have never been on a boat before, we recommend that you
start with an RYA Competent Crew course to familarise
yourself with the basics of sailing and then join this fantastic
racing course.
