Juniors at FYC

Fisherrow Yacht Club offers two parallel pathways to youngsters that want to join us to learn to sail, this approach mirrors the opportunities that adult learners have.

Firstly juniors and their families can access the “learn to sail” RYA modules taught at the club.

• These are taught by our fully qualified RYA instructors, available only to our members and the courses are great value.
• These courses can take you from never having been in a boat before to safely sailing solo in moderate conditions, knowing how to rig and derig your boat, launch and recover and right a capsize if you have decided to sample the water temperature.

Having acquired these basic sailing skills, the second pathway provides opportunity to practise these newly acquired skills and progress.

• All members are welcome to sail whenever a club event is on and the safety boat is on the water, having first assessed the conditions against their ability, so the juniors and families can also sail on race days and funsails.
