RYA Pathway
In June 2025 Emsworth Sailing Club was recognised as a British Sailing Pathway Club, because of our commitment to supporting young sailors and their racing endeavours. Created by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), the British Youth and Junior Sailing Pathway is a foundation for success for aspiring sailors. The Pathway Club programme underpins the Pathway's "Racing for Life" initiative, aiming to make racing fun, develop strong sailing fundamentals, and foster a lifelong love of the sport.
We are acknowledged as a centre of excellence for junior racing, offering affordable, high-quality sailing and coaching close to home for junior racers.
By becoming a British Sailing Pathway Club, ESC demonstrates its commitment to creating fun and accessible racing where young sailors can develop fundamental skills and feel part of a team.
A benefit of being a Pathway Club is having access to Pathway Resources.
Resources Winter 2025
This winter the RYA has partnered with leading experts in their fields to deliver a series of webinars designed to support junior and youth sailors, their parents, and those actively involved in racing and training. These sessions are tailored for those engaged with RYA Pathway Clubs, RYA Junior and Youth Class Associations, and RYA Talent Academies.
