We are lucky enough at WFYC to be able to instruct in both wheel and tiller driven powerboats. So you can have the opportunity to experience both.

There will be time to change into your sailing gear after the initial shore briefing so do not worry about coming ready to sail.

What you will need:

  • You are taking part in a watersport and you are likely to get wet, so always remember a change of clothes and a towel. Clothing for training – wetsuits are ideal, but if not, lightweight stuff that dries easily, with a couple of layers if it is cold, plus waterproofs.

  • Trainers or dinghy boots for the feet

  • Hats- always a woolly hat! remember it will always feel colder on the water. AND a wide brimmed hat if sunny

  • Sun bloc - helps prevent windburn and sunburn

  • Packed lunch + water or other drink

  • Medication- if required- clearly labelled with instructions and name. please make instructor aware

  • Optional extras: knee pads, sailing gloves

Buoyancy aids will be provided by the club.

Please arrive at the clubhouse 15 mins before the start time. Students will be met by an instructor at the front of the clubhouse on the benches.

If you have any questions, please see our FAQ or contact heidi@wfyc.co.uk

WFYC Cadet Easter Sailing Event
Apr

WFYC Cadet Easter Sailing Event

Join us for a fun Easter sailing challenge at WFYC!

Cadets will sail a course around the water to hunt for points, testing their sailing skills and navigation. Once everyone is ashore, we’ll warm up with a basket meal and finish the event with a special Easter prize.

📅 What to expect:
⛵ Sail the course and collect points
🥪 Basket meal after sailing
🐣 Easter prize presentation

💷 Cost:
£15 – Using your own boat
£20 – Including club boat hire

👥 Who:
All cadets welcome

⚠️ Please note: This is a club-run event, not a formal training session, so on-water support will not be at the same level as during training events.

For younger or less confident cadets, parents are welcome to helm or crew, or there will be some adults and older cadets available to sail with them. Please let us know ahead of time so we can help pair people up.

🍻 Parents and family are very welcome to stay and watch – the club bar will be open, so you can enjoy a relaxing Bank Holiday drink while the cadets are out on the water.

It should be a fantastic, relaxed day on the water – we look forward to seeing you there! ⛵🐣
