Maximum number of candidates per course is 12. We are potentially looking to hold two courses.

This course will primarily be run for the clubs in-house dinghy sailing instructors. However, there will be further places available for members of BYC.

This is a currently a place holder for this event, as the date(s) have not yet been arranged, but likely to be held on a weekend in April 2025.

In order to support members registering their "expression of interest" for this event, we have had to set an arbitrary date of Saturday 5th April 2025. This is not the actual course date - just to support the registration process within our system. There is no charge and no commitment to the member, and there is no guarantee at his stage for a place on a course. When course dates are scheduled, formal registation can then be made.
