In the second Off The Water podcast, our presenters Jack Mitchell and Nikki Stewart discuss RYA training and how it is currently being affected by lock-down and what moves could see a return to activities again.
RYA Training is a cornerstone to many clubs and training centres providing safe and successful access to different areas of boating. The hosts are in conversation with coach assessor and former Clipper skipper, Dan Smith who had just registered Scotland's newest training centre, Sailing Intuition, alongside Robyn Phillips, Senior Instructor with Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust and Scottish National Topper Coach, both providing some solid insights into the challenges the sector faces now and as we plan any return to boating.

Our presenters Jack Mitchell and Nikki Stewart discuss some of the areas affected by the current lock down, with interviews from leading figures and providing some insights into the challenges we face. It is an recreational activity so we have some lighter points and positive stories to listen to while away from your screens.
In the first episode we meet with Stuart Carruthers, the RYA Cruising Manager, catch up on the eSailing experiences provided by Virtual Regatta by talking with the Lockdown Cup winner, Luke Patience and find out what the #sailfromhome programmes are providing for our sailors with Performance Officer, Kate Pounder.
