More info: The courses are run to RYA standards over at least two days and one evening with (weather permitting) with the overall objective of achieving the RYA Level 1: Start Sailing Level 1.
We recommend progressing to Level 2: Basic Skills. If possible - book this second weekend which is scheduled on 23 & 24 May - Tickets available now
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.
