RYA Volvo 29er Transition Training

At Transition level 29ers can be sailed by girls crews, boys crews or mixed crews (open). 






RYA Volvo 29er Open Transition Training and 29er Class Association Training.

Following thorough discussions with the 29er Class Association it is our intention for the Open Training group and the RYA group to train as one i.e there will be no differentiation between RYA Volvo Open Transition Training and 29er Class Training at the following 3 events: 

  • 17th and 18th October 2009 - Draycote Water Sailing Club
  • 14th and 15th November 2009 - WPNSA
  • 28th and 29th November 2009 - Chew Valley  Sailing Club

This will enable sailors of all ages to access the same standard of coaching in order to develop their sailing skills. Many of the coaches at the Open training weekends also work on the RYA Volvo Youth programme.

Sailors who are eligible for the RYA Volvo Transition Training (please see guidelines) should attend the 29er Inland Championships at Grafham in November in addition to the Open Training events listed above in order to be considered for the RYA Volvo Transition Training Squad which will be selected in December.

What you need to do now:
Go to the 29er Class Association website: www.29er.org.uk and enter and pay for the open training/TT events above on the class booking form. You will also be able to find details and timings for the weekends on the booking forms. Please note that pre-booking is essential.
