About The NE & Yorkshire Youth Traveller Series
The objective is to promote competitive racing events, friendship, quality sailing skills and personal growth. The series offers opportunity to young sailors in the region in all classes to sail against their peers on a handicap basis.
Experiencing a variety of sailing venues is a key element in developing high quality sailing skills that will last a lifetime. (Travelling is also an opportunity to make great friends who also last a lifetime).
The series is a supportive, inclusive opportunity for all to race, those at the front are competing in their chosen class at (inter)national level; those at the back may be venturing onto the race course for the first time.
All are welcome and the series view is that the peer support offered by this series out on the water and on-shore is invaluable and represents and celebrates the essence of our sport.

Traveller Series Objectives
The objective is to promote;
- competitive racing events,
- friendship,
- high quality sailing skills
- personal growth.
The series offers opportunity to young sailors in the region in all classes to sail against their peers on a handicap basis. The series also visits several clubs which do not necessarily host RYA Youth & Junior class events due to their location, specific geography or water size. Experiencing a variety of sailing venues is a key element in developing high quality sailing skills that will last a lifetime.
The series is a supportive, inclusive opportunity for all to race, those at the front are often competing in their chosen class at national level, those at the back may be venturing onto the race course for the first time. All are welcome and the series view is that the peer support offered by this series out on the water and on-shore is invaluable and represents and celebrates the essence of our sport.
The association’s events offer opportunity for new experiences, competitive racing and friendships without the additional concerns of overnight accommodation (for the majority of our events) as the venues are within a few hours travelling time of home allowing families to be home in time for tea. Sunday can then be spent at the home club or enjoying family time together.
“No compromises – sailing & schoolwork”
“Home in time for tea”
“Sunday club sailing”
Opportunity For All Youth & Junior Sailors In The Region
The association aims to provide high quality racing for all young sailors in the region, regardless of the class of boat they sail, their financial situation or social demographic, where they live or where their sailing aspirations may take them.
