RYA Level 3 - Better Sailing
The better sailing course is an intermediate course aiming to consolidate and build on the skills and techniques taught in levels 1& 2, it also acts as on opportunity to try some of the advanced modules such as racing or sailing with spinnakers.
The sessions aim to run in a mixture of single and double handers (weather dependant) and run over consecutive days, usually a weekend.
We will provide each person with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid 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).
