Pre-Instructor Assessment
The date has been moved to Sunday 4th June 2023 (full day).  The date has been moved as the ISA Assessor who was to do the pre-assessment, will be running the Instructor Course, and the same individual cannot do both.  The cost of the pre-assessment and training will be €120 – (those doing will be sent an invoice by MYC) – if you fail the assessment there will be additional cost to re-assess, and there is no-guarantee this can occur before the instructor course.

The assessment includes water assessment, Knots and written exam (1hr).  Full details of the process can be found here https://www.sailing.ie/Portals/0/documents/SBSS-Pre-Entry-Practical-Guidelines.pdf

To assist in your preparation;

• It is imperative that you get as much experience in the Visions/Fevers, and practicing the drills assessed  (see page 3 of the above document) – especially rudderless sailing, triangle sailing and man-over-board !!
  
• The day prior to the assessment, Saturday 3rd June, Ben Patterson and Alex Pocock will be doing a full day’s preparation.
  
• Ben is organizing additional training, and it is recommended you engage in this.
  
• Note, there is no cost for using the Visions/Fevers to practice for the assessment.
