RYA Dinghy Courses

RYA Stages 1, 2 & 3 (Youths 8-15)*: Child-centred with an emphasis on enjoyment and building confidence. Each stage may take up to 2 days, but stages are usually combined in courses of 2 or more days, allowing each child to progress at their own pace. Small single-handed dinghies are provided by the Club, and achievements are recorded in a RYA Logbook, which is recognised at all RYA Training Centres. A parent or guardian is not required to remain at the Club during the course.

Please note we have added another RYA Stage 1&2 Course (Youths 8-15) for October Term 30th-1st November due to popular demand. Book online now.

RYA Stage 4 and Seamanship Skills (12-18): The next step following stage 3, these courses allow students to progress into sailing double handed boats as well as learning some more complex sailing techniques. These courses help to develop students from beginners into more competent and self sufficient sailors.

RYA Youth courses are open to members of the public, as well as Club members.
