RYA SAILING COURSES
Youth Sailing (8-15 years)
We offer tasters and all the junior RYA stages 1-4 starting in small single handed dinghies and using
crewed boats at stage 4. Juniors with Stage 2 can develop further by joining the after school weekly
On Board club. Courses are modular so certificates are awarded when all sections are signed off.
In late June/July we welcome years 11 - 13 students on adult courses.
Adults (16+)
We run tasters, formal courses, hire and clinics to brush up your skills all based on the RYA national
sailing scheme. Beginners use our crewed boats in Level 1 Start Sailing courses with an instructor
on board. It‘s best to follow this up with Level 2 Basic Skills to reach the stage you can sail
independently in light winds and hire a boat to keep on sailing. The Level 3 Better Sailing helps you
sail in a competent way in light to moderate winds – ideal for those who have level 2 but not done
a course recently.
Finally our CLINICS give anyone with at least Level 1 a chance for some supported sailing with an
instructor to coach you on the water.
