Training Course Descriptions

The Beginner's Sailing Course run by the club covers RYA Levels 1 & 2 (Start Sailing / Basic Skills) and the Junior equivalent Stages 1, 2 and 3.

RYA Level 1 - Starting Sailing

Essential boat handling skills, enabling you to sail confidently as part of a crew. You will sail under close instruction and learn about 2 knots.

RYA Level 2 - Basic Skills

This follows straight on from the Level 1 section of the course, and provides a good grounding in launching, reefing, tacking, gybing, landing safely, capsize recover, rules of the road, and sailing by yourself! At the end of the course you will be confident to sail a boat on your own in reasonable winds.

Fees cover:

• All the elements of a Level 1 and 2 or Stages 1, 2 and 3 RYA Dinghy Courses
• Logbook
• Final assessment & cost of certificates
• On qualifying to sail, Club Membership gives you access to club boats, at no extra charge, through the season & race training if you so wish.
