Aim of course:

The aim of Level 2 is to give students basic sailing skills and knowledge required to enjoy recreational sailing safely without additional input from an instructor, all through relaxed tuition. The course offers students the opportunity of learning in single-handed dinghies or double-handed dinghies. Although the courses will run alongside each other the differences in teaching methods means that some sessions will take place separately.

Course options:

Choose from both single handed and double handed course options:

Single-handed:

The Topper is an 11 foot sailing dinghy, constructed from polypropylene, meaning it is lightweight, robust and making it ideal as a training boat. The Topper is raced at SSSC as a Youth class boat. This option is best for those with a good level of mobility & fitness, who learn by doing and are confident on (or in!) water.

Double-handed:

The GP 14 (General Purpose 14-foot dinghy) is constructed from either wood or GRP (club training GPs are GRP) and are significantly heavier but more roomy and can be cruised, raced, rowed or even powered by a small outboard motor. As a training boat it is stable and large enough to accommodate an instructor and two students. The GP14 is raced as a two person adult class at SSSC. This option is best for those who take a more considered approach to learning and like to understand the theory.
