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.

TEAM BUILDING/STAFF DEVELOPMENT

Our qualified staff can provide team

activities offered at the Leeds Sailing and
Activity Centre. This could include canoeing,
kayaking, sailing, raft building and land
based problem solving activities.

Real practical challenges can be organised
which require cooperation to achieve an
agreed objective. Our ‘Tarn Challenge’
involving moving teams of people across the
tarn is a popular activity. Structured review
sessions enhance the learning process.
