EAST DOWN YACHT CLUB, Training Early Season 2023

Friday nights are to be the peak training effort at EDYC in the early season, starting Fri April 28th.

Other clubs can call this Fri night training, Bright Nights Training and other names, we are however stretching to encompass as much training as possible on Friday nights in May and June.

The main core will be youth training in sail boats, assisted by our Dinghy Instructors and supported by safety boats.

This will encompass newcomers with little experience or no experience through to perhaps some adults in larger sailing craft making use of the training environment and support.

Power Boats will be in attendance for safety cover and also for driving experience and training. If you seek this strand of training, make your desires known at the start of the sessions and we will tailor to suit.

We have an app termed Plain Sailing which is being used to register and to collect fees. Members are not being charged for the training, but at registration a contribution will be collected to assist with the refreshment costs after the session. Non-members are welcome, however should think of their non-member status as being a transition towards membership.
