Adult Start Sailing Course (RYA Start Sailing, Level 1)   iCal entry for this event

 

 

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.
