They have been recognised as a British Sailing Pathway club, a testament to their commitment to supporting young sailors and racing endeavours.
Created by UK governing body the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), the British Youth and Junior Sailing Pathway has long been a foundation for success for aspiring sailors.
The club programme underpins the pathway’s ‘Racing for Life’ initiative, aiming to make competition fun, develop strong sailing fundamentals, and foster a lifelong love of the sport.
It is a nationwide initiative aimed at identifying and developing clubs across the UK to become centres of excellence for junior racing, offering affordable, high-quality sailing and coaching close to home for junior racers.
By becoming a British Sailing Pathway club, the GYC joins a network committed to creating fun and accessible racing communities where young sailors can develop fundamental skills and feel part of a team.
RYA pathway club manager Hannah Wilcox was ‘thrilled’ to welcome the GYC into the network.
‘Their commitment to fostering young talent and promoting accessible, high-quality racing and race training aligns perfectly with the goals of the programme,’ she said.
‘We look forward to supporting their efforts in inspiring the next generation of sailors.’
