The RYA National Sailing Scheme for adults (16
years+)
has been developed to enable participants to get the most from the sport.
Level 1, Start Sailing, introduces the basic skills.
Level 2 builds on these skills and introduces the essential elements of good
sailing.
For adults, we offer only weekend
courses (non-residential)
although individual or group tuition can be arranged at other times (subject to
a minimum charge of £85 a 3-hour session).
One weekend will advance you one Level, however we recommend that you get extra
practice before moving from one Level to the next.
This can be done through our supervised practice sessions (q.v.) if desired.
We will take up to six pupils on each
course, but normally require a minimum of three people for a course to run.
Each course is run by a fully RYA-qualified Instructor, with a safety boat in
attendance.
Depending on the numbers, age, size, competence and confidence of the pupils, the courses will use any or all of:
a) Toppers – probably the best beginner singlehander dinghy for the lighter adult
b) Topaz dinghies (a singlehander dinghy especially suited for teaching)
c) Wayfarers – large dinghies
that can take up to two adults with an Instructor on board as well,
or three adults with the Instructor in a powerboat coaching..
(Wayfarers are also used frequently for the first sessions of a Level 1 course)
Adult 2-day, non-residential, courses
9.00 am till 5.30 pm for two
days
Level 1:
£131 per person per course
Stage 2:
£132 per person per course
Youth 5-day (non residential) courses
9.00 am till 5.30 pm for five
weekdays
Note it is advisable to gain some additional
experience before moving from Level
1 to Level 2
and again before going on from Level 2 to Level 3 and the Advanced modules.
This can be done through our supervised
practice sessions (q.v.) if desired.
To book any session, ring the
Centre (01692 536411) and tell them which dates you would prefer.
Course capacity is limited, but if we cannot fit you in on the date you want,
we can arrange another day.
If necessary we will arrange tuition sessions especially for you, but there is
a minimum charge of £84 a 3-hour session for this.
(Two-day sessions will be charged at the above rates provided minimum numbers
are met)
