Training


Sailing

Throughout the season we run a number of RYA training courses for members aiming to introduce new sailors to the sport and provide more experienced sailors with new skills. Our training team is run entirely by volunteers.

Power Boat

In addition to dinghy sailing the club also offers RYA training courses for powerboat handling and safety boat.
