Summer Course Registrations are opened

Summer Course Registrations are opened

The Junior Committee is happy to announce that the Summer Courses 2023 are now open for booking for all NYC members.

The booking will remain open until midnight on Monday 22 May 2023.

As previously advertised, we will be running the full suite of IS levels and are additionally offering some custom courses. Places will be allocated on a first-come/first-served basis. We intend to offer all courses published, but this will depend on demand and minimum numbers per course.

If you are unsure which course is right for your young sailor, you can check the ISA website for a description of the standard courses by clicking here: Dinghy, Keelboat & Catamaran Sailing   (List of courses under the Course Syllabi heading)

Feedback from parents has told us that demand for specific courses is hard to predict running into the summer. For this reason, we have decided that we will not cap the number of places per course at the point of booking. This will allow us to respond more flexibly to your needs and scale-up to meet demand where possible.

What this means for you is: If there has not been sufficient interest in a course you have booked or if a course has been oversubscribed, we will be in touch before 15 May 2023 (within 1 week of booking closing) to offer you an alternative course or a full refund.

NYC Club Match Racing League – over 5 Monday Nights, starting Monday 29th May

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER!!! - DEADLINE : FRIDAY 2ND JUNE AT 1200!!

The National YC is preparing the return of a match racing league with 5 Monday evenings scheduled in May/June. The league will be competed on the club Elliotts on starboard rounding windward-leeward courses in the harbour.

The league is open to up to 8 teams composed by 3 or 4 sailors. Team members must be 16 or over. We hope to see teams coming from many diverse sections of our Club (U25s, WoW, Instructors...) and from across all normally raced classes (SB20s, Waterwags, Lasers, Keelboats, Flying Fifteens, RS Aeros etc...)

Team changes will be allowed from one night to another to facilitate busy schedules and last minute crew absence as long as the core of 2 sailors including the skipper remain in place for the full duration of the league. There will be no crew swapping facilities on the night.

Each team is guarantied to sail in round one and two. Both these rounds will have up to 6 races per team (providing we have a full entry of 8 teams). Please Click Here to see the proposed format of the League: match race format June 23

As this is the first league of the summer, a simplified approach to team racing will be used keeping it friendly and manageable to teams who may not have match raced before.
