TESTIMONIALS “A worthwhile and educational course.

I gained a considerable volume of knowledge and relevant tips. I strongly recommend this course to anyone contemplating ‘going to sea’. It is best to learn from someone else’s experience than from your own”. A. Knowles “The Club has always been very welcoming and encouraging which has allowed me to experience many different aspects of sailing and racing in a very short time and make some great friends in the process.” M. Toy “All in all, the CYCSA is a great environment for women interested in learning to sail and race...” L. Fenderson
