What? RYA National Sailing Scheme Level 1: Start Sailing

When? 7th - 8th June

More info: The courses are run to RYA standards over at least four to six days and one evening with (weather permitting) with the overall objective of achieving the RYA Level 1: Start Sailing Level 1 and working towards Level 2: Basic Skills. There is a second weekend on offer to work towards achieving Level 2: Basic Skills.

The course takes the form of a mixture of practical experience, on shore drills and short talks and is aimed at reaching a level where sailors can rig, launch and recover a dinghy, sail a basic course, return to shore and deal with a capsize situation.

Due to the vagaries of the weather course dates may be rescheduled as necessary and it may not be possible to complete all aspects of the course in the four days.

Once the course has been completed the participants who join the Club will have an option to hire club boats for the remainder of the season
