RYA Courses

Level 1 (Start Sailing)	A two-day introduction to the sport with plenty of hands-on sailing. Available in keelboat or dinghy.
Level 2 (Basic Skills)	A two-day improvers course, with enough background knowledge to give confidence. Because we sail on the sea, all our courses include coastal endorsement. Available in keelboat or dinghy.
Seamanship Skills and Day Sailing	Exciting two-day courses for sailors who already have Level 2. "Seamanship Skills" is designed to give more self-reliance and confidence and teaches some more advanced techniques. "Day Sailing" is a great introduction to the world of cruising and usually includes a trip to one of the many beautiful havens to be found in St Brides Bay. Both courses take two days and both are available either in dinghies or keelboat.
Powerboat Levels 1 & 2	Level 1 is a one day introduction to simple motorboating enabling the beginner to get a real feeling for handling the boat. Level 2 is a two day course and and provides all the skills and knowledge needed to be a competant and safe powerboat driver. Providing your boat is properly equipped we are happy to use it to do the course, alternatively you can use our Quicksilver boat, which is fast, fun and easy to drive. An Avon 4M RIB may also be used to provide variety
Safety Boat Certificate	An exacting course, essential for Club Safety Boat drivers but very rewarding for any-one who wishes to take their abilities one stage further. A two day course with most of the time spent problem solving out on the water.
Junior Sailing Levels 1,2 & 3	We are very happy to teach children of any age, but a parent must be present at all times. Children learn quickest (and enjoy themselves most) when sailing by themselves or with other children. We use Optimist and Topper single-handers and the grown-ups must be prepared to spend a lot of time in the safety boat.
