Training

RSC is committed to introducing people to the sport of sailing and training them on so that they can participate in racing. We have a team of RYA qualified instructors and a fleet of Topper dinghies. All courses have a good ratio of instructors and rescue cover to pupils. There is a support network to encourage people to progress from beginner level to competitive racing. Informal sailing days away from racing and training sessions for small groups with qualified racing instructors can be arranged on an ad hoc basis.

In 2005 the Club purchased three more Toppers, a nearly new Enterprise and new buoyancy aids in a variety of sizes, to improve the training facilities. Several more of our advanced sailors were trained as RYA racing instructors.

Open Day

The Club Open Day is held annually in May or June. This is an opportunity for anyone who has never tried sailing before to have a go. There is free of charge and even the buoyancy aids are provided.
The 2010 Open day will be held on Saturday 8th May

Club Training Course

Rotherham Sailing Club will be holding a training course in June. The course is open to members and temporary members and aims to bring complete novices up to the equivalent of RYA Level 2. All boats and buoyancy aids are provided. This is offered at a very reasonable price as the time given by Club members is all voluntary. Further details can be found in the attached leaflet

The 2010 Sailing Course will start on the 7th June
