A warm welcome!

Such is the popularity of Oppies, we seem to be constantly overwhelmed with enthusiastic sailors! As we only have 16 hulls we are ideally looking for a core group of 20 sailors and as a benchmark we are looking for children who are capable of righting a capsized oppy in conditions of wind force 2/3 and are committed to learning how to sail. Therefore, as a guideline, the minimum age for students is 8 years. Exceptions can be made, but please don't apply if you know that your child can't satisfy these requirements!

It must also be stressed, that Oppies is NOT a recognised RYA course. It is an MYC facility for
introducing children and grandchildren of club members to sailing and is run by club volunteers.

As per last year year, the course will be structured, with the intention of having ALL students sailing as a fleet before the Mutiny weekend and hopefully entering the fleet for some inter club regattas towards the end of the season.

If you've got this far, then Oppies may well be for you. Have a look through the rest of the site and if you satisfy the requirements, download an application form and send it to me ASAP.

Here's to a great season!
