Orlagh Connor, our 15+ Years Group Senior Instructor introduces her plans for this age section this summer.
This Summer the plan is to push the limits as much as possible and try new things. To do this we have planned many day trips in 1720’s and sport yachts and these excursions have now been incorporated into the weekly plan. We even hope to get out on board our 38ft yacht, Lynx. Also, we have recently invested in Topaz Vibe’s which are excellent to introduce students to racing techniques and double handing. These new Vibes have diversified our fleet hugely and are also great fun to sail. In addition to these new Vibes , we have also invested in many new Laser Picos which are excellent boats to starter boats, and great fun to have a mess about in. Thanks to chief instructor Kenneth Rumball, the significant expansion of our fleet means that students can progress faster and the higher performance boats can be adrenaline pumping and thrilling to sail!
The great thing about the 15+ years group is that regularly the students leave with a great new gang of friends in which they share a common interest. Not to worry though, The 15+ age group is not completely changing and many of our traditions will still be in place like ‘Cake Friday’ where the students bring in cakes and goodies to enjoy on Friday afternoon after a great week of sailing and ‘The Teddy’s Sail’ where the group sail over to the east pier to get an ice cream and walk the pier. This Summer is bound to be action packed for the 15+ age group with many surprises in store.
