RYA Scotland runs "Academies" for dinghy classes, often over the winter. Unlike the previous Squad regime, these are open to all. HSC is a popular Academy venue and club members should keep an eye on the "Upcoming Events" on the website Home Page. Applications to participate should be made via the RYAS Scotland website.
