If you are interested in learning how to sail or getting more involved with the sport why not try one of our RYA courses.

The RYA (Royal Yachting Association) offers a widely recognised comprehensive training scheme for beginners all the way to seasoned yachtsman. RYA qualifications are universally recognised, which can open the door to bareboat chartering in most parts of the world.

We can offer the Start Yachting and Competant Crew courses. The Start Yachting course runs over two days and by the end of the course you will have experienced steering a yacht, sail handling, ropework and be aware of safety on board. Holders of the Start Yachting certificate can go on to complete the Competence Crew course in a reduced time of three days or two weekends.

The Competant Crew course is for beginners and those who would like to become active crew members rather than just passengers. Experience living on board and really get to know the boat. Virtually all the course is hands on. You are the crew - without you the sails won't go up and the boat won't be steered. By the end of the course you should be able to steer, handle sails, keep a lookout, row a dinghy and assist in all the day to day duties on board. You should also have visited some interesting places and had an enjoyable holiday.
