Start Racing
This course is designed for members who can already sail to a reasonable level and want to give racing a try. It can be quite daunting to just rock up on the start line and join in with experienced racers on a Sunday – this course aims to give you the confidence to take part. The syllabus includes key rules, starting technique, what the flag signals mean, boat tuning, strategy and much more besides.
Only six places are available so book early!
The course runs in September 2026 (5th,12th and 19th) and finishes with a Start Racing Regatta which is exclusive to past and present course graduates.
