We take the responsibility of training seriously, an example of this is that our instructors are all RYA qualified and hold valid first aid certificates, but we also work hard to ensure the courses are fun. The majority of the time is spent on the water with coaching, support and continuous assessment of sailing ability throughout the course. Theory is an important element of our course but we try to manage this within three short sessions, approximately 20 minutes each, throughout the day. We welcome prospective members to the club on Saturday mornings to discuss the courses in detail and help decide on the most appropriate one, we can normally arrange for a taster sail at the same time but prefer to book this in advance. Wet or dry suit required for these courses Summer holidays 5 days.
