Dinghy Sailing
We run a number of courses for 'instructors' and coaches to help support
the basic range of instruction and training we provide. All our basic
and intermediate courses are dependant on club members who volunteer to
assist. It's one of the many ways the Club is a bit special. Dinghy Instructors
and Assistant Instructors provide the backbone of instruction for Junior
sailing as well as the adult Start to Sail courses. With the
exception of the Club Racing Coach course, all these courses are taught
by Club members.
At present we cannot train Senior Dinghy Instructors in-house. Suitable
candidates are eligible to be sent on courses at other centres.
Much informal training and coaching goes on at other times — the
newcomer to sailing will find many members willing to assist and advise.
In order to comply with the Club's Child Protection Policy (accessible
in the Members Area) and RYA
guidelines all trainers and instructors over the
age of 18 must have obtained an enhanced CRB check.
A course for those who wish to gain the RYA Dinghy Instructor Certificate.
It is designed mainly for those who wish to instruct the Juniors and the
Start Sailing courses. We hope to run this course annually. Instructors
are required to hold both Power Boat
and First Aid certificates. The DI certificate
must be revalidated every five years.
Training to take you to a level where you can assist Dinghy Instuctors with
teaching sailing up to RYA Level 2 and the first three stages of the Youth
Sailing Scheme (i.e. Junior Sailing). The AI certificate is valid for 3
years and may only be used for instruction at the centre at which it was
awarded. Details.
Before you can undertake a Dinghy Instructor course you must demonstrate
your skills in this assessment. Some of the day is spent being coached
in areas of weakness, and any that 'fail' will be given a positive debrief
to let them know the areas they have to concentrate on. The assessment
is valid for 12 months.
This course aims to train accomplished sailors to safely deliver fun,
quality race training to adults or children within clubs, classes or squads.
Unlike the other courses, CRC is delivered by an RYA Coach.
