I have been wondering whether the parents of our junior sailors would be interested in race training at a basic level, as they really enjoy the mini races I put on for them all at the end of Junor sessions. Might even be able to make some beer money from it!

Going back to the RYA's first racing courses outlined in the National dinghy scheme in the 1970's there was 'Racing1' and 'Racing2'. Whilst many centres ran Racing 1 courses (start racing) the RYA only sold a handful of Racing2 certificates. John Driscoll ( National Coach at the time ) was quite realistic when he said thar once people had learnt enough to get into racing, they probably picked up more knowledge by just getting out and doing it!

Hence the G4 scheme of the 980s and 90s just having 'level 4' which was equivalent to the youth 'red badge' and the current 'Start Racing' , however it  did leave a bit of a vacuum
