The second Merlin Rocket Youth Training Session hits Fishers Green Sailing Club on February 28, 2026. Six participants tackle the wind in three boats. RYA race coach Courtney leads an indoor session, breaking down boat controls and their impact on speed.
Sailors pair up, with most trying their hand at helming. The gusty conditions add excitement as they learn to adjust controls under guidance from Courtney and helpers on RIBs.
A shift allows half the group to crew alongside experienced sailors, enhancing their understanding of sailing techniques.
After a lunch break featuring tasty toasties, the focus shifts to using controls in pairs. The day culminates in three windward/leeward races, with Daisy and George emerging as champions.
Participants return for a debrief, sharing insights and takeaways. The next session is set for April 18 at Royal Corinthian Yacht Club. Register at portal.merlinrocket.co.uk/events.
