Discover Sailing sessions at Royal Gourock Yacht Club

Royal Gourock Yacht Club is now an RYA Discover Sailing Centre

Starting this April RGYC is offering 4 free on-the-water Discover Sailing sessions to everyone.

Whether you’re interested in learning to sail for the first time, coming back to sailing or just wondering what it’s all about the aim is to get everyone out on the water on a sailing boat.

Adult Discover Sailing sessions are on Friday evenings and Tuesday afternoons and those aged 12-18 can join our very popular Cadet programme which runs every Thursday evening.

These sessions, each 2-3 hours long, are not a formal sailing course and there is no RYA qualification. You will however learn a whole lot of basics which will be a great start if you want to take sailing further.

You’ll be going out on the Club’s own ‘Piper’ classic dayboats which are ideal for learning or on a cruising yacht belonging to a club member. The sessions are fun and friendly and will show you just how enjoyable sailing can be. Your four free sessions can be used anytime between May and September but it’s best to start at the beginning.

How do you sign up?
Adults should come to the registration evening at the Club on Friday 19th April, 7pm when you’ll get lots more information and can ask questions. Also you can download the registration form from the club website https://rgyc.org.uk 

What do you need? Warm clothing, waterproof if possible. Lifejackets are essential but you can borrow one from the club for the Discover Sailing sessions.

So come along and enjoy the fun of sailing this summer at the Royal Gourock Yacht Club. Sign up at 19.00 0n Friday 19th April.
