Useful Information

 

 

What to wear to go sailing

 WASH will provide wind/waterproof jackets, trousers, buoyancy aids and life jackets but sailors will need clothing suitable for the outside temperature and soft soled shoes. If it is sunny then dark glasses and a hat are useful but you need some string to keep them on your head.

Refreshments

WASH is looking for Volunteers to run a Tea Bar at SESCA on WASH sailing days but until then all WASH members are welcome to use the SESCA kitchen facilities. These include kettle, microwave, fridge, cooker with hob and oven, toaster. WASH has a supply of tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate and sugar in the cupboard but you may need to bring your own milk and food.

SESCA is a great place for a picnic.

Training and Racing

Award courses from entry level, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum are available and are set up by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA). The Platinum award involves the basics of racing and provides a basis to continue into the local, Regional, National and International racing circuits.

The HANSA (ACCESS) class dinghies we sail are an internationally recognised class with a handicap (PY) number of 1630 or 1660 depending on whether you are sailing solo or paired.

SESCA run RYA training courses, which are available to WASH members and entry is by adding your name to the lists in the clubhouse when published.

Course details are available on the RYA site and posters showing invitations to regional and other competitions will be displayed at the clubhouse.
