This course is an introduction to Dinghy sailing and is aimed at the complete beginner.
This practical course is delivered over 4 days by RYA registered Instructors, on our double and single-handed dinghies, at our training base on Piddinghoe Pond.
At the end of the course, the trainee will have a good knowledge of dinghy sailing, be safety conscious, and be able to handle a dinghy under most wind conditions, on inland waters.
The training includes practical sailing and helming techniques, launching and recovery, rigging, safety on the water, recovering a man overboard, the theory of sailing, weather forecasts, rights of way, collision regulations and much more.
The trainee will have an ongoing assessment, and when successful, an RYA Level 1 and/or Level 2 Certificate, inland endorsement, will be awarded. If the RYA standards are not met, an action plan will be agreed.
Included in the cost is the RYA book Start Sailing (G3), the RYA National Sailing Scheme Syllabus and Logbook (G4), and the RYA Level 1 and/or Level 2 certificate. Additional reading materials are available from the online RYA Bookshop.
