Adult Training - TrySail Print E-mail

The Tuesday Trysail training course runs May-August every year. The 2010 course will run from 4th May to 3rd August. If you would like to register an interest for the 2010 season, get in touch using the contact us form.

 
Tuesday nights have always been beginner and cruising nights at IBRSC, a perfect antidote for a day in the office jungle. There's no racing, just a laid-back structured training programme, a chance to try sailing at a low cost (just £5 per session), plus of course the water is open for any members who just want to go for a sail. The objectives of the Tuesday trysail course are:
 

- To have fun!

- To get people into sailing

- To get people so hooked on sailing at IBRSC that they join the club

- To have the club open for fun sailing without worrying about racing

- To increase the bar takings!  

 

 A full training schedule and calendar is available here

 

 Tuesday evenings are for all members (adults and supervised children) and for ADULT (over 18) guests only. Non-member children are catered for at our Sunday afternoon sessions. Non-sailing spectators are most welcome, but please keep a close eye on children and don't bring dogs.

Guests are welcome from about 1845 each Tuesday evening, session starts at 1900 and we sail until dusk. There's an end-of-training chat at about 2130. Each evening we will provide talks, help and lots of sailing, initially with experienced sailors in Enterprises, and then on your own as you get more confident. This is not a registered scheme so no certificates, just an intro to sailing at a low cost. We use all our club boats and swap people round so that everyone gets a sail.
 
What do I need?
 
Please bring:
  • - Warm scruffy clothing, with shoes that don't mind getting wet. Tracksuit topped by cagoule, with trainers, are ideal.
  • - A towel and a complete change of clothes, in case of a soaking.
  • - Money!
 
IBRSC will loan you a buoyancy aid. If you wear specs, please bring some string or a cord to secure them on your head. Leave valuable items and non-waterproof watches at home.
