Sailing RYA Adult Level 1 and 2
On successful completion of the RYA level one and two course you will have a basic knowledge of sailing and be capable of sailing without an instructor on board in light to moderate winds. You will also receive an RYA logbook and RYA start sailing certificate upon successful completion of the course.
The 4 Day course is initially run with up to 3 students and 1 instructor per boat (using boats such as Wayfarers or Laser Bahia's). Towards the end of the course there should be (weather allowing) the chance to try single hander boats as well.
We will provide each person with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, logbook, and an RYA Start Sailing book (and a certificate where applicable). Helmets are also available.
What you need to bring:
- Swim wear for underneath the wet suit
- Footwear that will get wet, such as trainers, or wet suit shoes are available to purchase from the shop
- Hat (sunhat for shade protection or a winter hat for warmth) / gloves
- Towel
- Sun cream and sun glasses are recommended throughout the year
- Packed lunch & drinks (the onsite café is open at weekends)
Shower facilities, changing rooms and lockers (require a returnable £1 coin) are available.
Please arrive 5 minutes before the session start time at the Waterside Reception (front of the Clubhouse).
