October half-term sailing days at Rydal Penrhos
Rydal Penrhos School RYA Training Centre Sailing and Water-sports October Half- term 2021
Join us in October half-term for four days of water-sports activities for children from 7-17 years
Two water-sports just for fun days; depending on the weather and sea conditions we are offering a choice of activities; body-boarding, paddle-boarding, water confidence, beach games, learn to tie knots, about wind direction and speed, the tides, the environment, windsurfing and sailing (choice of water-sport - weather dependent).
Two days of RYA tuition: RYA Progression Days will count towards your child’s RYA qualifications; skill-building, refresher work, satisfactory demonstration and understanding of course components and seamanship skills and will be logged accordingly in each child’s RYA log-book. Log-books provided for new starters.
Dependent on the ability we will adjust the sessions accordingly to tailor to RYA progression required. We aim to certificate these two sessions where applicable for Youth Sailing Scheme from Level 1 upwards for sailing and windsurfing.
Our sessions will be led by Chief Instructor Leah Shepherd and Ben Brame. Maximum numbers on the courses each day will be 12. The weather and sea conditions are always taken into account to ensure the safety of our participants however we do intend to maximise our session with as much time in and on water as possible each day.
Each day will begin with a meeting at Rydal Penrhos Sailing, Ingleside Sailing Centre (corner of Brackley Avenue and Lansdowne Avenue) 9.30am to be accompanied down to the boat park by our instructors and will conclude back at 4.30pm at Ingleside for collection.
All sessions will be run under RYA Cymru Covid-19 and Rydal Penrhos School guidance, please note no shower facilities will be provided at this time.
Please bring a water-bottle, swimsuit, towel, sun hat, sun-cream, and own wetsuit kit if possible however centre wetsuits, dry-suits if colder and buoyancy aids can be provided. Please provide warm casual clothes for changing into afterwards. Each child will need to provide their own packed lunch but drinks and snacks will be provided.
All water-sports kit and equipment; boards, paddleboards, windsurf boards and boats provided.
