If you are aged between 15 & 22 and are considering making your career in the Superyacht industry then read on.
The Royal Temple Yacht Club looks to inspire a small intake of new students each year to our Sailing Academy. We are looking for keen youngsters (experience not essential but enthusiasm is key)
We bring on the water racing experience, classroom learning and all the help and guidance you will need to take part in our local weekend yacht racing.
There is something for everyone and over the years we have several members who started their sailing in Ramsgate and have gone on to make a highly lucrative career out of sailing and are highly valued Captains on some of the worlds largest superyachts.
Sailing takes place with racing on Sundays between April and October each year. The Academy operates a social programme for its students throughout the year.
New students will be given safety training before they go on the water, then they will join a yacht as crew to be trained in the art of sailing.
If you are aged between 15 and 22 with an interest in sailing, racing or cruising on a yacht make sure you register to join our Academy intake 2025 below.
Our next Academy open day will be announced in April 2024. If you would like to be considered for our Academy 2025 intake please complete the form below https://form.jotform.com/230812749410351
