Junior Sailing Courses
RYA Stage 1-This course will teach you the basics of sailing a boat. You will learn everything from how to prepare the boat, to sailing across the wind and looking at how to recover from a capsize. With lots of time on the water staying dry is impossible!
RYA Stage 2 - Stage 2 will look at improving upon skills learned from stage 1 and advancing further. You will look at sailing in all direction of wind and build your confidence when sailing single handed.
RYA Stage 3 - During this course you will develop your skills to become a confident and competent young sailor. You will explore the more technical aspects of sailing and learn to sail more efficiently.
RYA Stage 4- During this course you will practice the skills learnt in Stage 3 in double handed boats as both crew and helm. You will explore new techniques for sailing this type of craft and look at the importance of communication, a necessity for the more advanced modules.
RYA Seamanship Skills - This advanced module aims to increase the self-reliance and decision making of the sailor, by spending time developing boat handling and manoeuvring skills as well as looking at what we can do when things don't quite go to plan.
