Family Week + SVOD & Mermaid Coaching Courses

Whether you have never taken part in a training course at Sea View Yacht Club, or whether you are an old hand, Family Week is a chance to get to know new friends whilst either learning to sail or improving your skills. Thanks, as always, to Noel Dobbs there are also some fantastic evening meals and social activities organized for you during the week. The week finishes with prize giving and a BBQ.

We try hard to select the best crew combinations (friendship and ability) for the Mermaid sailors; to help us with this please could you fill in the Course aspirations and experience sections on the online booking to the best of your ability or email training@svyc.org.uk to discuss groupings.

Groups for either families or children will be organised into ability and friendship groups in order to get the most from the week both educational and social.

Each course will be working towards RYA certificates (keelboat, multihull or dinghy) as well as our SVYC qualifications, but we can also work on specific areas you request.

If you have taken part in this course before maybe try something new this year. All of our classes are great fun to sail but they all handle differently, if youre not sure email training@svyc.org.uk to discuss your options.

Sailing is a very important part of the week, but there are several options to consider, do you want big boats?,  small boats?, are you a zero? or hero? No matter where you fit in there are courses here for everyone. Still unsure, give the training team a call 01983 613268 or training@svyc.org.uk

Family week relies heavily on the volunteer Instructors who give up their time for the week.  If you are a Mermaid A helm and would like to help, please contact Jon Curtis on 01983 613268 or training@svyc.org.uk  If you do volunteer as an A helm you have the opportunity to become a RYA Keelboat Instructor during the week.
