Adult Start Sailing Course (RYA Start Sailing, Level 1)
We offer 6 week courses on a weekday evening (usually a Tuesday) which will run at a
pace and nature to suit the sailors. Each session will start at 6pm and is intended to run
for 2 hours, but will be dependent on on-the-water weather conditions, with some
off-the-water training sessions should conditions be unsafe for our sailors, but longer
sessions as the evenings get longer.
The beginner sessions will initially utilise our on-the-water classroom; Topper Omega
mono-hull dinghies, before progressing to the Single Handed Topper or Laser.
Beginners will be welcome to sign up to further courses should they wish, subject to
availability, or subject to approval from their coach, progress to the Intermediate courses.
All participants must be paid up members of Mumbles Yacht Club, which is not included in the course price.
