don't worry, no confusion.... I got that Chris  Thumbs Up

Clubs can tweak the system to suit their needs. For kids, we use the Stages as a framework. For adults, it is trickier, as they tend to have limited time, so a weekend per course tends to be what works. However, if a club wants to integrate new sailors, more support needs to be offered by the club and its members. The RYA can only be a small part of that.

Do I think the RYA could change its priorities a little? Yes. But I'm sure all members feel that way.

We run our Cadet Week which is a mix of doing the RYA stages combined with fun activities (sailing games, free sailing, bit of racing). It works pretty well and when you get a group of kids together they really drive each other on.


amazing how fun the  lsit of  boat handling  exercises in the  (old) coaching handbooks can be made
