We organise adult combined RYA Level 1 and 2 course in May and September each year. The format, content and delivery follows the guidelines laid down by the RYA. The sessions run over three evenings and five Saturdays. The training is carried out in our double handed Wanderer dinghies with an instructor on board initially.These sessions are aimed at beginners and at the end of the sessions the sailors should be competent to sail in light winds. The sessions are open to non-members of the club but we hope you enjoy yourself so much you will want to join us! We also offer shorter beginners courses to RYA Level 1 during the summer months using single handed Topper dinghies.Feedback from our previous students includes:
If you are still not convinced then come to the club and talk to some of our recent members who twelve months earlier decided to sign up for one of our beginner courses! In addition for club members we offer a number of the RYA Advanced sailing modules including ‘Start Racing’, ‘Sailing with Spinnakers’ and ‘Seamanship Skills’ and a Club Night every Monday from May with supported sailing. Sail in Company at our Club Night every Friday through the season with supported sailing. Details of all the courses are in the training program are shown below.
