Junior Training 2015
There are three opportunities for Junior Training this coming year, so please show your parents this
letter.
May 2/3rd Two Handed Sailing. Two handed training is a new training event specifically designed
to let juniors and adults sail two handed boats. Thus learning how to work together as a team.
Age 8 +
Cost: £25 members, £35 non members.
June 27/28th Oppie Weekend This will be a similar format to previous years but there will be an
opportunity for ‘experienced’ Oppie sailors to benefit from additional training.
Age 6 +
Cost: £25 members, £35 non members.
(Boat £25)
Monday 27th July to Friday 31st July Junior Week. This will be a five day course and we will be
using the RYA Young Sailors’ Scheme, so at the end of the week you should receive a RYA
certificate. There will be the usual FUN, games and Friday Regatta where you will all be racing for
the Punt Club Junior Trophies. There will be three groups: Oppies, Toppers and Advanced (13+).
The Oppies and Toppers will be divided into two groups, beginners and improvers whilst the
Advanced group (13 and over) will be sailing two handed boats, RS Vision and Norfolk Punts. Mark
Elson (RYA Coach) will be in charge of the sailing and Val Khambatta will look after all the logistics.
Cost: £100 NPC members, £125 non NPC members. Need an Oppie or Topper £60.
We will need to know how many of you will be there this year so we can make all the arrangements.
The entry form is also on the website. But we will need your parents’ help….
