Whether you are wanting to learn to sail under your own control or share the load with a crew, we have a course for you.
Adult Learn to Sail - Dinghy
The Adult Dinghy LTS programme is a multi level programme for people aged 15 and above. It is designed to teach you the basics of dinghy sailing through to race (if you want to go that far). There will be lots of fun and plenty of adventures including both group and individual sailing. The sailing will be in club supplied Topaz dinghies and RS Quests. On this course you will develop core sailing skills, while having fun and meeting new friends. Everyone learns at different rates, so progress will vary between students. Level one is an introduction and basics of sailing, on completing level one criteria you go onto level two, which builds speed of manoeuvres and confidence. Level three is for those wanting to continue into racing.
