Dinghy Instructor Course

A week-long Dinghy Instructor course for experienced sailors who want to get involved in instruction. More details are on the RYA website here. If you are interested in doing this course but aren't quite sure if you're ready please chat to RC Training or any of the Senior Instructors within the club.

The cost has yet to be determined but based on previous years will be about £200 to £220. We want to fill the course to keep the cost down so if there is insufficient interest from within the club we invite members from other clubs in the harbour. This is significantly less than at other clubs but the expectation is that the instructors will help with training. TISC Instructor Development grants can be applied for to support active club members who wish to progress to becoming instructors.

The pre-entry requirements for the course are:

• You must be 16 years old or over
• Powerboat L2
• First Aid
• The RYA Safe & Fun safeguarding course (which can be done online through the ASA)
• Sailing pre-assessment

We hope that anyone attending the course will help out with Junior Week which will give new instructors the opportunity to practise with support from more experienced DIs and SIs.
