Learning to Sail

RYA Level 1 and Level 2 Courses - 2010

UNFORTUNATELY - ALL COURSES ARE FULLY BOOKED FOR 2010

If you are interested in any of  the courses and would like further information please download the information letter and the application form, both in PDF format.

The level 1 and 2 courses are aimed at both members and prospective members and will be run in two sections.

The first section is a level 1 course that will run on 5 Wednesday evenings in the spring and  summer - see dates below

The second section will be a level 2 course run on 2 Saturday sessions in July and September.

In between the two formal courses students should practice their sailing skills and will be able to take advantage of our Wednesday training evenings. RYA logbooks will be provided and RYA certificates will be awarded on successful completion of the course.

This course is aimed at an adult audience, to give a basic knowledge of sailing and a capability to sail a dinghy in light winds without an instructor.

Capsize drill

This is an essential part of the course and will take place on the fifth Wednesday of the level 1 sessions. It is a good idea to beg or borrow a wet suit for this occasion but is not essential.
