The Club has put together an exciting sailing and training programme for 2026.  There will be two Summer Cruises - one from UK to South Brittany; and a second to the South West Coast & Isles of Scilly.  There are 15 training events - including Boat Handling, Radar, Navigation and Pilotage as well as RYA Training (Comp Crew, Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper) and RYA/MCA Yachtmaster^TM Preparation week.

These activities are only available to PYC Members (not Introductory Members). 

At all other times the boats are available to be booked for ad-hoc cruises and mentoring by Club Skippers and Members.  Other trips are already planned to Northern France and the Channel Islands.
