The CBYA has a special relationship with the Real Club Náutico de Calpe which gives us access to their six, fleet-racing TOMs, at a special discounted rate.
The CBYA runs twice-a-week Sail Training Days on the TOMs – usually on Thursdays and Saturdays. We have several members who are RCNC – CBYA approved skippers, who take out CBYA members who are interested in learning how to sail these exciting boats.
- Learn how to sail with experienced skippers
- Basic sailing principles, knots and safety
- Rigging sails, docking and sailing manoeuvres
- Twice-a-week Sail Training (Thursdays and Saturdays)
- TOMs Ladder Competition
- Coastal sails and raft-ups
We run Spring and Autumn TOMs Ladder series each year at Calpe to introduce less-experienced sailors to racing. Typically we race with white sails only (no spinnakers). The ladder results are accumulated over the year to decide the overall winner.
