Did you know 5KSC offers a unique opportunity where Day Skippers can come together to sail on our club yacht in the Clyde.
It’s often difficult for Day Skippers to get time onboard where you can develop and take your sailing skills to the next level. The 5KSC Inshore Skipper Scheme (ISS) offers valuable time onboard to practise skippering and build sea miles, with support from fellow Day Skippers and experienced crew.
ISS weeks are made available each year during the summer season. The sailing area, although restricted, enables skippers and experienced crews to explore some of the finest sailing grounds in Scotland, ranging from the islands of Arran, Bute and Cumbrae to Loch Fyne and Loch Long. To keep things safe, sailing is confined to daylight hours and a forecast wind of force 4 or less, with fair weather.
At least two people aboard must be qualified to RYA Day Skipper or higher, and signed up to 5KSC ISS, and a further two (or more) deemed by 5KSC assessors to be competent crew (sorry no novices). Interested? Please visit our website which details the eligibility to join the Inshore Skipper scheme or contact us to find out more!
