IOCA East Open Training 4 Sunday

This weekend will offer a great introduction to Team East, offering open training and skills development for optimist sailors new to racing (also known as regatta racing). They just need to be able to sail round a triangle in a force 4 and be capable of self-rescue.  

Cost: £45 a day, please enter separately for the Saturday and / or Sunday

Sailors will need their own boat and warm winter sailing clothes including either a thick wetsuit, wetsuit boots and gloves or a drysuit.

To take part, sailors must be IOCA members.  If you are not currently a member there are two options:

Option 1: IOCA 2025 membership - expires on 31 December 2025

Option 2: IOCA Event membership for £3 per event entered (please note this is not available for the Dabchicks training listed below)

If there is the demand, it's our intention to also run open training on: 

18th and 19th January at Royal Harwich Yacht Club, near Ipswich

1st and 2nd March at Blackwater Sailing Club, near Maldon

29th and 30th March at Dabchicks Sailing Club, Mersea Island (please note temporary membership will not be available for this training)
