Celebrating clubs that allow junior sailors to develop their sailing and racing skills, and encourage young sailors at grassroots level to stay in the sport

The PY Scheme has been running since the 1950s and continues to provide clubs with a method of facilitating mixed class handicap dinghy racing.

The RYA NHC replaces Portsmouth Yardstick racing for Cruisers. NHC aims to promote a single National Handicap scheme for Cruisers, giving clubs a uniform handicapping scheme that can be easily adopted for their club racing.
