National & Regional

Training

Training is key to help our young Optimist sailors achieve their goals. This could be anything from starting out by attending local training events at your club to the RYA Regional Training Groups or our open National training weekends.

Regional and National events allow you to improve your racing skills and tactics, and to make good friends who will hopefully be with you for a lifetime in the sport. Many of our parents involved with the class are still sailing with friends they met in their Optimists.
