The RYANI 420 Open Pathway Training (OPT) is open to sailors under the age of 19 in the 420 class.

It is aimed primarily at those sailors who wish to develop their racing skills with a Squad coach in order to help them gain a good understanding of racing within the class and to go on to compete at open class events and the RYA Youth Championships. Youth Performance Programme and Academy Sailors will benefit and should attend.

Sailors should be at RYA Start Racing level and be able to competently sail in a force 4 and stronger.

Days are targeted for specific classes and may be split into target groups in order to allow appropriate development of all sailors.

Please note, spaces may be limited (and a minimum number met) and applications should be paid in advance via this website.

Applications may not be accepted on the day.
