HISC Youth Race Fixtures and Training

Training of our young sailors is really what the Youth section is all about, as is evidenced by our status as both an RYA recognised teaching establishment, and as a Volvo Champion Club. These sessions usually start at 10.00hrs with a briefing. These sessions are parent led, with help from experienced younger sailors some of whom are qualified instructors and coaches.

Racing

A typical race day commences with a briefing for competitors at 10:00hrs, when the day’s programme will be outlined. We would ask that all sailors turn up to briefings promptly at the advertised time, changed, with their boats rigged, so they are ready to go afloat immediately after the briefing. The aim will be to start racing punctually.
