Once ready , the coach will encourage the sailor to participate in Sunday afternoon racing where their coach will be on hand to observe and help them get the hang of racing on a course where other boats and classes are racing .
Once the sailor is ready to participate in Sunday afternoon Club racing on a regular basis and without on course coach support , they can simply enjoy the regular Sunday afternoon Club racing . If further development training is sought after they can pursue a third-party coaching provider to further develop their sailing .
It ’ s not all about medals , glory and international recognition at this stage , it ’ s just about having fun in a supportive and safe environment and allows for kids , youth and adult sailors to meet and become a community .
The Centreboard Dinghy Division is an active family-based community . Using supported international dinghy classes , there is an opportunity for the whole family to spend time on the water . Parents and kids can race alongside one another while other family members have the opportunity to spend time on the water by volunteering .
Regular racing and training is run in a highly professional manner without losing the family fun of a volunteer-based system .
The facilities and knowledge within the Club allow sailors to take their sailing to whatever level they desire . RPAYC ’ s dinghy sailors have a long history of success on a state , national , and international level .
Racing at the Club takes place most Sundays throughout Summer , whilst the Ice Breaker Series provides regatta sailing once a month through Winter sailing .
The RPAYC has a strong focus on international one-design classes in its dinghy fleet . By following the Australian Sailing Youth Pathway , young sailors are afforded the best opportunity to progress their skills and challenge themselves .
