Onboard ADVANCE
These sessions are for those who have achieved their stage 4.
They will focus around the advanced modules of seamanship skills, spinnaker sailing and racing.
From these sessions, if you are a club member we encourage you to join in, in our John Apthorp supported race series on Sundays- so you can get a full weekend of sailing in.
They will have a focus around racing as we get closer to cadet week.

Hats- always a wooly hat! remember it will always feel colder on the water. AND a wide brimmed hat if sunny
Sun bloc - helps prevent windburn and sunburn
