Training at TBYC
The 2016 Sail Training dates have now been published on the “Sail Training” page available from the Sidebar or http://www.tbyc.org/sail-training/ . Full details of the requirements and dates are listed. Stage 1 starts in May and Stage 2 in April but please get you applications in early.
Unfortunately Southend Marine Activity Centre has closed therefore for the foreseeable future it is assumed that our and other Yacht Clubs will be the main locations to complete courses. So it is a good opportunity for us to remind you we do hold other courses that may also be of interest, many tutored by volunteers to keep the cost down.
We usually hold two RYA Power Boat Level 2 courses a year. These courses are always oversubscribed so just requesting a place does not guarantee entry. Priority is usually then given to those members that will be actively operating the club RIBS. If you are interested please email Ken at [email protected] .
First Aid courses are also organised at the club with an external organisation and these are advertised when they happen (although there is one happening on the 20th February). For more information email [email protected] .

Hi Paul sounds like an opportune moment to change the sail training to RYA recognised sail training. Following the demise of the marine activity centre.
It makes no sense to re-invent the wheel
Steve, I don’t really know the history of the Club Sail Training but I can see that there is pros/cons and if our voluntary helpers would be able to work to deliver the set standards. As you said though it could be an opportunity that committees should discuss. I shall bring it up in AOB at Sailing Committee.
Cool we do have lots of members who are RYA qualified and i’m sure many would help
Keep up the good work we all appreciate it
Kind Regards Steve
