Application Process
All applications are to be made online HERE between 1st and 10th March. Please choose your course carefully and then apply for one ticket per child. Places are NOT allocated on a first come first served basis. Applications will only be reviewed after the 10th March. Please make sure you have read and understood the following before making an application for your child.
- There are minimum recommended age limits for all courses. See individual course pages for details.
- For the higher end courses (stage 3 and above), parents and children need to understand that merely completing a course one year and then enrolling on the next RYA stage the following summer with no practice in between is not sufficient. Copies of the child's log book may be requested in order to be accepted on to the higher end courses. We reserve the right to remove your child from the course if their ability is not up to the required standard. For these courses, children must provide their own Topper in good working order. We will not allow Toppers on the water if they are not fit for purpose (see Topper preparation guide under the course information page).
For 2024, we will run Seamanship Skills (age 15 and above) within the main Sail Training week. The Assistant Instructor course will be run prior to the main event starting on Friday 19th July at noon, finishing on Sunday 21st July at noon.
Prices: Prices are per child. All applicants are only allowed to do one course.
We offer subsidised prices for those that live locally, educate their children in a local state school and request that they need the subsidy. Discounts are NOT applied automatically. Please email the_clubhouse@bssc.net if you believe that you are eligible for a subsidy.
