RYA Sailing Courses
We offer the whole range of RYA Dinghy Sailing Courses for both youths and adults, following the RYA Youth Sailing Scheme and for adults the RYA National Sailing Scheme.
We have a number of club boats that are used for training which include Toppers, Wayfarers, Lasers, RS Fevas, RS Vagos and 420s. Many of our students have gone on to compete in National and International championships (including the Olympics) and some have also continued into a career in the sailing and marine industry. Once they are competent, students are encouraged to continue their sailing by taking part in club racing or on our Thursday evening practice and general sailing evenings. During the winter evenings, when it gets too dark to see on the water, we hold various shorebased sailing and seamanship theory sessions for our members.
Adults
Tuesday evenings are dedicated to Adult training and are broken up into six week blocks. In each block it is hoped that the student will complete either one of the three beginner's levels or one of the improver's and advanced courses.

Youths
Saturdays are reserved for Youth and Cadet training and, like the adults, are also split up into six week blocks. We also hold two dedicated weeks during the year for Cadet Training - there is one in the Spring Half Term and another during the Summer Holiday period. In each block, or during one of our cadet weeks, it is hoped that the student will complete either one of the four youth beginner's levels or one of the improver's and advanced courses.
