We organise coaching and racing events for Topper sailors both at a regional level and nationally, and although the Topper is sailed predominantly by junior sailors we have active members of all ages in our fleet.

OnBoard Sailing

OnBoard sessions will take place from April to October.  These sessions are open to all Cransley Youth sailors aged 8-18 and youths wishing to try out a 'taster sailing session'.

 

Club Toppers, RS Fevas, Laser Bugs and Picos are available for training sessions.


Come along and improve your sailing skills in a friendly group

 

Please arrive in good time to allow you to set up your boat and be ready to start promptly.  The sessions normally last around one and a half hours.   Sailors will be expected to rig and de-rig their boats.

 

Parents/:Guardians the sessions will still be held even if wet and windy. We appreciate your help onshore or on the water, please sign up on the volunteer sheet. Thank you.

What is OnBoard?

OnBoard is run by sailing’s National Governing Body, the RYA, OnBoard is a highly successful industry supported grass roots programme which seeks to make sailing easier to get into for young people. Over a ten year period the programme aims to introduce a minimum of 500,000 children to sailing in the UK, converting over 10% of them into regular participants. So far it’s nicely on track.

Cransley Sailing Club is proud to be involved in the OnBoard  scheme as from April 2012 all our youth training sessions will be under the OnBoard umbrella.  Our Principal Instructor Nigel Austin oversees training at CSC.   Our youth training programme is for members only and introduces young people to both the fun and discipline of sailing and the social side of being part of a club.

 

Quote from RYA to supports clubs involvement

Cat Ferguson, OnBoard Operations Officer, comments; “it’s great to welcome Cransley Sailing Club to the OnBoard programme. Sailing is a fantastic sport no matter your age, background or ability. We look forward to working with them and the local community to get as many people as possible enjoying our great sport.”
