BBYC CENTREBOARD CADETS
 

“This is a fun focussed, intermediate level, sailing stage between the Learn to Sail & Centreboard Racing”
About: After graduating from Bucklands Beach Yacht Club Learn to Sail programme from Level 1 to Level 3, the sailors will
build upon all the basic and racing skills already acquired during the Level 1 to 3 courses and gain general confidence and
experience in sailing without any pressures.

The Centreboard Cadets will have the opportunity to spend half the days session developing their sailing skills with fun
water activities and games and potentially the other half with the BBYC Centreboard group on their race days.
Other sessions could include easy destination sails or get a chance to sail one of the other BBYC boats such as the RS Fevas,
O’pen Skiffs or the Keel Boat J24s to gain a wider sailing experience.
