The best way to enjoy the experience of learning how to sail is to take the introductory Royal Yachting Association level 1 start sailing course. This should be followed by a practice period of between 5 to 15 hours hire to perfect those skills before moving on to the RYA Level 2 basic course. There are many different ways for you to achieve your aims and with expert tuition, a fully stocked retail shop and much more, we aim to get you racing across the water in no time.
All specialist equipment is provided with our course, including spray tops and buoyancy aids. We recommend you bring along a change of clothes, towel, and some old trainers to wear on the water and some warm clothes for afterwards.
The courses are a mixture of on-land simulator sessions, discussions, group and individual activities, on-water demos and personal coaching from safety boats. Group sizes are a maximum of 6 students to 1 instructor, both for your safety and quality of instruction.
One of our instructors will take you afloat in our 3 to 4 man dinghies. You will receive a practical introduction to the art of sailing. A short break ashore will provide the training to enable you to take full control of the dinghy on your return to the lake. This time your instructor takes the passenger seat.
Price: From 40 per person.
This introduction course is designed for those with little or no sailing experience. It is held over 2 days, from 9.15 to 1.30 each day.
