Race Training Programme
Six consecutive Saturdays, from coaching to club racing
- 7 hours
- Royal Findhorn Yacht Club
Learning to race is not just about understanding the rules - it is about building experience. By spreading the coaching over six weeks you have time to build confidence week by week, develop stronger boat handling, learn from real racing situations, receive ongoing coaching and feedback, and progress alongside the same group of sailors.
Throughout the six weeks, instructors support participants in developing not only racing skills but also the confidence to join Royal Findhorn Yacht Club racing where appropriate. Racing alongside more experienced sailors is one of the best ways to continue learning, and we will help make that first step into club racing welcoming and enjoyable.
