 Queen Mary Sailing Club is now a RYA Pathway Club!

What is a Pathway Club?

The RYA has been looking for clubs that are committed to running regular, high standard race training programmes in one or more of the British Youth Sailing recognised classes. For QMSC, it’s Topper, Techno, RS Tera, RS Feva and ILCA classes.

This is aimed at replacing the old framework of regional and national training squads, where students would develop at a club level in their younger years before moving to RTGs. The RYA are now moving to focus more on Club-level activity and Class Associations, allowing us to cultivate a strong youth presence which will have the ability to compete at open events across the country, representing Queen Mary Sailing Club.

With this recognition from the RYA comes a handful of benefits:

  • RYA Racing Tutor assigned as a mentor to further push Pathway Development within the club
  • Discounted Coach Development courses such as the RYA Race Coach Level 2 course, open to prominent racers / instructors from ages 16 and above
  • Access to Coaching Resources and Advice from the RYA
  • Selection for Zone Championships and Regional Events

Here’s which of our youth groups that the Pathway affiliation focus on

  • Ospreys (Entry Level: Stage 3 or equivalent)
  • Race Squad (Entry Level: Selection from Ospreys)
  • Windsurf Race Squad (Entry Level: Selection via Chief Windsurf)

If you are interested in joining our youth pathways, you can go to our Junior (8-17) Weekend Sailing & Youth Windsurfing pages.
