The RYA has a very extensive youth initiative that is designed to make Olympic class sailors such as Ben Ainslie, out of ordinary club sailors like those of you reading this right now.  You can learn vital sailing skills in any class but the RYA classes give you a chance to show off in front of the people who help organize Team GBR.

There are a number of recommended classes approved by the RYA for youths:

Single-handed                                     Double-handed

Optimist                                               Cadet

Topper                                                 Mirror

Laser Radial

Laser   

                                                                        

 

 

Out of the above classes, the Topper, Laser and Laser Radial are of the most suitable for racing at the club at the moment.  However, nothing stops you from sailing any of the other classes and it may only need one of you to start and soon a whole fleet will be joining you.  The Mirror fleet used to be very strong in juniors.
