Training at all levels is available on Saturdays during our training season, which runs from May until September. Full or half-day sessions can be booked for the amount of training you require. It is not necessary to join the sailing club to take part in Saturday training. The training fleet includes Topper and Laser Pico dinghies, and a Hobie 16 catamaran.

If you have never sailed before and want to try it out before committing to a training course, we offer “have a go” sessions. We will take you for a sail on a dinghy or catamaran, all equipment provided. These 2 hour sessions are available on Saturdays during our training season, either 10:00am to 12:00am or 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Pre-booking essential. Available to adults and children age 10+.

Start Sailing (formerly RYA level 1)
This course gets you started using a mix of crewed dinghies with an instructor aboard and single-handed dinghies. After completion you will know about launching and recovering your boat, and be able to sail effectively in light winds under supervision.
Course duration – 2 days (4 sessions).

Basic Skills (formerly RYA level 2)
This course is recommended as a follow-up from the Start Sailing course. By the end of the course the successful sailor will be safety conscious and have a basic knowledge of sailing in light winds without an instructor. The course includes sailing theory and a controlled capsize recovery with a rescue boat in attendance.
Course duration – 3 days (6 sessions).

Improver Courses
Once you have completed the basic skills course, we can offer further training sessions including learning about racing, using spinnakers, seamanship, and sailing catamarans.
