Before you start racing it is helpful to acquire some basic sailing skills so that you can be a useful crew member rather than feeling like you are in the way!
If you haven’t sailed much before begin with an RYA Competent Crew course. Then join our Introduction to Spinnakers and Racing course which will teach you some essential spinnaker handling skills and give you more of an understanding of race crew roles.
If you are planning to race offshore you will need the AS / ISAF Offshore Safety and Sea Survival course which is a good idea for anyone going to sea.
