Course Format

We also organise adult combined RYA Level 1 and 2 courses. The format, content and delivery follows the guidelines laid down by the RYA. The sessions run over three evenings and four 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.

We are currently finalising our training calendar for 2025 - check back for updates

Sail in Company

Our Club Night every Friday through the season with supported sailing.
This is a great opportunity for sailors of any ability to come and improve their skills. Our more experienced members are available to give tips and advice and we regularly have a safety boat on the water for your reassurance. We look forward to seeing you on Friday evenings from May.
