New members will start sailing on Wednesday 14th  April 2010. We will start at approximately 18:00 hrs. We hope to finish each evening at approx. 20:30/20:45 hours. (This depends on how long it takes to put the gear away and how much theory the instructor wishes to cover). We try to encourage parents to turn up a bit earlier to help put gear away.

Here is a list of things, which each youngster should try to bring with them every session:

Safety:-
Y.P.A. will supply buoyancy aids we have a wide range of types and sizes.

Clothes:-
Please bring extra clothing to wear whilst sailing. The temperature on the water is always cooler than the temperature on the land, and it is better to wear a lot of thin layers rather than one thick layer, e.g. several thin jumpers instead of one thick one,

A pair of jogging trousers not jeans.

A kagoule or something light and waterproof

A hat to keep the heat in.

If you wear glasses then please bring a strap to hold them on.

 A spare set of clothes and a towel is a must. Your child will get wet so they must be prepared. There are showers in the changing rooms at the club house so bring a towel to dry yourself.

Have a look at dressed and ready to sail.

Shoes:-
Please bring an old pair of trainers to wear these will get wet, so bring a carrier bag to take them home in. Don't forget to bring a spare pair to change into. Please do not bring Wellingtons as they fill up and can restrict movement in the water.

Food and Drink:-
Please bring a flask with a warm drink e.g. tea coffee or chocolate, and a snack, plus a bar of chocolate for your instructor.(Not really)
