RYA Adult Level 1 - Start Sailing
This beginner-friendly course provides a gentle introduction to sailing. You’ll learn the basic principles of boat handling, rigging, launching, and recovery. By the end of the course, you’ll have a good understanding of wind awareness and be able to sail in light winds under supervision. No previous experience required.
RYA Adult Level 2 - Basic Skills
Building on the skills from Level 1, this course develops your confidence and independence on the water. You’ll learn more refined boat handling, including tacking, gybing, sailing upwind/downwind, and controlling speed. After completing Level 2, you should be able to sail independently in good conditions and be ready to progress to more advanced courses.
RYA Adult Level 3 - Better Sailing
Refresh, refine and build confidence on the water with our RYA Adult Level 3 (Better Sailing) course. Designed for sailors who have completed RYA Levels 1 and 2 – or who already have equivalent experience – this course bridges the gap between basic skills and more advanced sailing techniques.
Over two days, you’ll focus on improving boat handling, developing greater control in a variety of conditions, and becoming a more independent, self-sufficient sailor. With plenty of time spent on the water, our qualified instructors provide personalised coaching to help you strengthen existing skills and explore new ones at your own pace.
