This winter's RS Aero UK Youth Team's training schedule is now released and entry is open! Building on previous years the series will visit seven great venues over seven months and bring in a variety of top coaches.

Sammy Isaacs-Johnson masterminded the programme for the Class and is hugely excited to welcome both new sailors and previous members, fully inclusively of all levels, to join this exciting off season activity to prepare for next season.

Sammy explains; "With substantial reinvestment funding from the RS Aero UK Class Association the UK Youth Team is both more affordable and boosted this year. There is a whole new set of locations, elite coaches and a busy social program. A mix of coastal and inland venues will allow sailors to develop skills for all types of sailing.

"Each weekend will have a topic that will form a focus for the Team. The sessions will be a mixture of boat handling skills, racing tactics and much more - with the goal to build up to a summer of Championship racing."

The programme will culminate with the RS Aero UK Youth Championships & training at Bowmoor on 1/2nd April - to see who has been paying attention best in the training!

  • 15/16th October - Lymington Town SC, Hants
  • 26/27th November - Lee on Solent SC, Hants
  • 10/11th December - Burghfield SC, Berks
  • 21/22nd January - Draycote WSC, Rugby
  • 11/12th February - Paignton SC, Devon
  • 11/12th March - Hayling Island SC, Hants
  • 1/2nd April - Bowmoor SC, near Swindon (*RS Aero UK Youth Champs)
