Ravensbourne Youth Yachting Trust allows children and young people throughout the Otago region, to learn how to sail with a fleet of Optmists or O'pen BIC's. The Trust is a charity and heavily subsides the small fee to be a member. It also coaches intermediate sailors, who are looking to improve and sail on high performance dinghies, namely the Trust's O'pen BIC or 29er fleet. The trust operates out of Ravenbourne Yacht Club, but you do not have to be a member of any yacht club to be involved. Everyone is welcome and the aim is to have fun out on the water and learn to sail in a safe environment.
