Juniors with Stage 2 can develop further by joining the after school weekly On Board club. Courses are modular so certificates are awarded when all sections are signed off. In late June/July we welcome years 11-13 students on adult courses. Adults (16+) We run tasters, formal courses, hire and clinics to brush up your skills all based on the RYA national sailing scheme. Beginners use our crewed boats in Level 1 Start Sailing courses with an instructor on board. It s best to follow this up with Level 2 Basic Skills to reach the stage you can sail independently in light winds and hire a boat to keep on sailing. The Level 3 Better Sailing helps you sail in a competent way in light to moderate winds ideal for those who have level 2 but not done a course recently.
