The aim of the training section is to introduce beginners to sailing and give them the skills and confidence to take part in regular club activities. We are a RYA recognised training centre and have equality and safeguarding policies in place. As a non-commercial centre, our courses are taught by qualified instructors who are enthusiastic volunteers (plus the occasional freelance) and want to increase participation in the sport of sailing.

Beginners training will be mainly conducted in the club Wayfarers, although we may use others as required.

We typically have one adult beginners intake each year. To make the most of your sailing journey, you will need to continue to practice after the course to progress - club members will always give guidance if asked! Saturday sailing is a relaxed and informal time at the club without the pressures of scheduled racing. Once confident, entering one of the regular Sunday races will give you thrill of competition.
