CONGRATULATIONS TO THE RYA DINGHY INSTRUCTOR CLASS OF 2023
Tuesday 7th February 2023

Congratulations to the RYA Dinghy Instructor Class of 2023

On annual basis we ensure that any young sailors with an interest and exhibiting competency in developing their teaching skills are given the opportunity to train towards their dinghy instructor course.

Over the last year we have supported

  • 9 instructors achieving Power Boat 2 Courses
  • 9 students achieving First Aid Courses
  • 7 students passing the Safe and Fun Course required as part of the qulifications to ensure an understanding of the importance of safeguarding in an organisation where students under 18 are taught
  • 4 students passing their Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Dinghy Instructor Course in full and so can now teach RYA Learn to Sail Courses. 3 others are also well on their way to completion of the course.

Congratulations to T’Quan James, Shanae Jervier, Kywain Graham and Tyson Robinson who passed all courses with flying colours.

We would like to thank the Mill Reef Foundation who have funded the entire training programme ensuring that not only are we giving the Antiguan youths the opportunity to develop their careers in the yachting industry but that we have instructors to teach other Antiguan school children to sail.

 "In addition we would like to thank Ondeck Antigua for their support in Power Boat and First Aid Training, RYA Trainers Tim Cross and Tony Wood and last but certainly not least, our Chief Instructor Sylvester Thomas, for the many hours of mentoring and training to prepare the youths for the programme.

TEAM DEVELOPMENT

We took the opportunity to include team development with our current team of 7 instructors while the RYA was in Antigua. We enjoyed time out with our full team of instructors focussing on the different elements of their roles: the schools learn to sail programme, sailability, race training and discussion about how we can continue to develop our students with the growing class numbers we now have. Thank you to Tim and Tony for their inspiration and support. We are excited about the further development of the team and all of the programmes they are responsible for.
