Never tried sailing or looking to improve?

We offer junior beginner sailing training on a Wednesday evening April to September.
Adult beginner training in the form of RYA level 1&2 courses are arranged by our sailing professional . These lead onto our 7 week adult improver courses.
The objective of these courses is to get you to the stage where you are confident to take a boat out and join our social or racing programs.
You can use your boat or we will provide a Club boat for you to improve in.

Junior sailors progress on to further sailing and race coaching on a Wednesday evening.
This training is run under our status as an RYA Training Centre.
