Instructor's thread.......?

   My lil bro did AI the other week, he hadn't sailed for months before!
I'm sure you'd be able to do it, you might need to practise a few
specific things but I'm not sure exactly what you need to be able to
do..

	Sea Falcon, yuo're way good enough, I know someone who'd been sailing for 8 months who did it. And I did it... It's a really good course, well worth it even if you don't plan to teach.

	AI is assistant instructor. details are on the RYA website http://www.rya.org.uk/Training/Instructors/default.asp?conte ntId=2718463 Basically its a site specific qualification organised by your local RYA centre principal that allows you to teach under the direct supervision of an SI at that centre. Hope that helps Edited by Garry

	Errrr...I'm guessing that AI is some sort of assistant, but what do they do, and how could I be one when I'm good enough (a long time from now... )?!

	Plas Menai is a great place to do any kind of course. I had a week there a few years back on their taste assymetrics course (my mate and I were the only 2 on the course). We told the instructor we were just there for a laugh and we loved it! As for the instructors I have been an AI for 4 years and am thinking about going for my full intsructors soon, I am hoping my club will run a course. Regards, Paul

	Up in SW Scotland, was great. Sleeping in a tent for a month in Scotland was a tad interesting!
