All ages (8+) Dinghy Sailing Course

The course is aimed for beginners with no sailing experience who want to try something new or sailors with little experience and want to enhance their skills. During the 2 1/2 day course you will learn the basics of sailing including, parts of the boat, sailing as crew, sailing as a helm and as well some seamanship skills including basic rope work. The end goal depending on ability and previous experience is to be able to sail a dinghy by yourself or in a double hander act as competent crew. As well as the sailing it is an enjoyable way to spend the summer on the sea while trying something different.

Boat hire included in the price. RYA trained instructors with years of experience. We ask that participants bring their own wet suit, a suitable pair of shoes (trainers or wet suit boots) and sun cream. Each course lasts two 1/2 days starting on Monday morning or Wednesday afternoon. Most people join two courses together and complete a full week of sailing Monday to Friday.
