What does RYA recognition mean?
It means that you can expect to be taught by an
experienced instructor aboard a seaworthy, safe, well maintained
and suitable craft, on courses within the RYA’s proven training
schemes at the supervision ratios defined by the RYA.
Qualifications earned on RYA courses are recognised and valued
in most parts of the world.
All the instructors are volunteers and have a
genuine interest and enthusiasm to pass on their knowledge and
skills to others.
The club is inspected regularly to ensure that
training craft and instructors meet the high standards of the
RYA. The RYA also carries out spot inspections during courses to
ensure the level of tuition and the condition of the equipment
remains consistently high over time.
The RYA is responsible for administering the
recognition system and ensuring standards of training are
maintained.
The club has RYA recognition for a number of
dinghy sailing and powerboat courses as detailed below.
