YOUTH SAILING @ CHASEWATER Youth Sailing @ Chasewater is a fun and friendly way for youngsters (aged 10 to 18 or whilst in full time education) to sail, whether learning from scratch or improving existing skills. We offer a full training programme, run by RYA qualified instructors, which sees absolute beginners sailing solo in as little as two sessions, if they feel confident enough to do so. We operate on Saturday mornings (9.30 - 1.00) from Easter to mid-October. Our fleet of boats, range from single handed Toppers, Picos and Lasers through two-man Fevas to multiple-crew Wayfarers, provides a variety of sailing experiences. This activity is fully supervised by RYA qualified instructors with rescue facilities provided at all times. It’s a great way for young people to be introduced to sailing and gain RYA qualifications.

Have you got the knowledge to save a life? Windsurf Training at Chase Sailing Club ADULT & YOUTH WINDSURFING Here at Chase we would welcome you to your first taste of what is an exciting and dynamic sport for all ages and ability. We are an RYA Training Centre, which has been independently inspected to create informative and enjoyable courses in a safe learning environment. We run the RYA National Windsurfing Scheme at our approved centre with nationally recognised and qualified instructors. The RYA Scheme has been designed to take you progressively through the skills required to become a competent windsurfer in a variety of conditions. Each level enables you to log your progress, set goals and enhance your knowledge and understanding of the sport. In addition to the practical elements, each session covers an amount of windsurfing and related background knowledge. T15 T15 is a Club for children and young people who have completed a level 1/ Start Windsurfing course. Once they can sail out and back, 8 -15 year olds can join T15, which meets on Thursday evenings in the summer months from 5.30 to 8.00 pm, to develop their skills and have fun on the water. Some Chase Aces have their own kit; others hire a set of T15 kit to practise on. We have various sail sizes which sailors can try. There are also T15 events across the region and keen sailors can go along to various lakes to pick up top tips for going faster. Parents are always surprised how quickly their children progress when they are able to encourage and challenge one another. For the past two years we have run some weekend sessions in the autumn too. £2.50 – per session; £5 – kit hire for one evening. Members of T15 can come along for 3 evenings on trial to see if they want to join; they will then need to become Club members which means that they can come along to any weekend and autumn training sessions and (if they have their own kit) can sail outside T15 training times. The T15 Thursday evening activity operates alongside other Club training. For more information visit our web site: www.chasesc.org.uk
