7th Wave Race Academy

Become a Race Cadet and get inspired to have a go at dinghy racing with the help of some of the Island’s top dinghy coaches.

Race Academy is perfect for anyone who has completed RYA Stage 3. It offers plenty of time on the water to refine sailing techniques, build confidence and have great fun getting competitive.  There are loads of opportunities to take part in racing events, our Race Academy gives sailors all the skills and knowledge they need to go on to compete at Club and Squad level.

Most of the Manx Youth Sailing Squad members started out right here at Race Academy, so you too can follow in the footsteps of Ben Batchelor, Teddy Dunn, Peter Cope, Roo Hyett and so many more!

Race Academy will be re-launching in 2026 with a Start Racing weekend on 15 & 16 August.

The fee is £145 for the whole weekend!
