Training BHYC is an RYA Registered Training Centre (RTC), a Volvo Champion Club, and has RYA ONBoard status. We welcome all those who would like to learn and improve their sailing and powerboat skills. Garry Smart Principal of RTC

The Club regularly runs specific courses for Optimist and Pico sailors, and race training for both cadets and adult members. A variety of dinghies can be hired for Club activities only.

The best way to develop sailing skills is to join in the racing, and everyone is most welcome at any time.  Cadets and Novices who have gained their RYA SS3 or Level 2 certificate are especially encouraged to join the Hot Shot Club during the spring.  Instructors and coaches will be on hand to provide extra help and encouragement and get everyone ready for the season ahead.  Cadets and Novice adults, including those wishing to learn to sail, may register on the various training sessions on offer during the year.  Everyone is most welcome to join in the Come Sail With Us (CSWU) sessions.

Sail Training Week is held in August of each year.  Places are limited to Members only.

Please email the Training Section if you have any general questions about the BHYC training programme.
