All students are allotted their own boat, buoyancy jackets are provided and all courses are supported by a fast safety boat. Although we specialise in beginner's training many of our clients return each season to improve their sailing techniques. Should our range of courses not cater for your needs or the thought of learning in small groups not appeal, training can be provided on a more personal basis using both single handed and double handed boats by arrangement. This will enable you to try sailing for the first time without the commitment of booking a full course. The taster is taken in a double-handed dinghy with an instructor.
Tuition is given with close supervision in small groups using lightweight dinghies.
This five day course, which may be taken Monday to Friday or over a series of two and a half weekends, is an introduction to basic boat handling techniques and essential background knowledge. These skills are developed during the course and upon completion you should be a safety conscious sailor capable of sailing a dinghy without an instructor in light winds. Everyone learns single-handed techniques to begin with in the 'Topper' dinghy. There is then the opportunity to try the other boats at the School, i.e. Gull Spirit or Wanderer. This five day course is for those who have successfully completed RYA Level 2 and gained some experience on their own.
