Welcome to the LRYC Junior Sailing Course 2025.

We are delighted to announce we will be running a full course again this year for all levels. There has been increased interest in the sailing course over the past few years. To match site, rescue and hire boat capacity, along with available instructors and ISA teaching ratios, the number of sailors within each level will be necessarily capped.

Applications will be opened first to members, on Monday March 10th, applications from non-members will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis, from Monday March 17th.

We ask you to kindly NOTE that a completed application form does not guarantee a place on the course. This will come into effect when the ratios of instructors to participants is finalised.
