RMYC’s popular Sail Training Week (STW) returns for 2026 (27th – 31st July) offering young members an exciting opportunity to learn and develop sailing skills on the water. Open to children (8–16) and youths (up to 19), the programme combines fun, friendship, and nationally recognised RYA training courses.
Participants can join at any level, from a Beginner’s Course to RYA Start Sailing Stages 1–4, learning everything from basic boat handling to more advanced sailing techniques. For those ready to go further, a Start Racing module and a Dinghy Instructor course (age 16+) are also available. Open to Cadet and Family Members (membership options available)
Sailing sessions run mornings or afternoons, led by experienced instructors in a range of dinghies, with structured progression and certification. Midweek feedback ensures each sailor gets the most from their course.
STW is not only about gaining qualifications, it’s about building confidence and enjoying the unique experience of sailing in Poole Harbour’s tidal waters.
Volunteer helpers also welcome – afloat or ashore – to help make the week a continued success.
