RYA Keelboat

RYA Levels 1 to 3 and more
RYA Powerboat Level 2

Our courses suit those wishing to  learn to sail a keelboat to an internationally-recognized standard.

The RYA Keelboat courses are suited to those wishing to learn sport boat sailing (18′ to 30′ boats with keel and small or no cabin) and those wanting a sailing experience with no possibility of capsize.

RYA Keelboat courses

Learn to sail a keelboat with our RYA keelboat courses. Our RYA courses is run over 2 full days with most of the theory managed on board. The training is great for those progressing from a dinghy or starting ‘big boat’ sailing. No prior experience is necessary. There are a maximum of 3 students to 1 instructor. We teach with the instructor on-board but with students managing all the manoeuvres and exercises.

Keelboat

We use an SB20 keelboat which is small and manoeuvrable but fast and challenging in a strong wind. Everything you learn in this boat is good preparation for sailing in larger boats or taking the RYA Competent Crew and Day Skipper courses at a coastal venue. Whether you pre-book or book when you get here, everything you need is included in the price and is at the beach. Buoyancy aids, spraytops and boots (if needed) come with the package, along with a friendly smile.

Powerboat courses for adults and juniors
