| Level 1 and 2 Start Sailing / Basic Skills
The aim of the course is to teach adults to a competent level enabling them to sail a boat safely leaving the shore, sail a triangular course and return to shore in a seamanlike manner. As well as basic boat handling techniques the course also includes sailing theory and background, simple meteorology, rigging and ropework. The course is run by an RYA Senior Instructor assisted by fellow instructors.
Successful candidates will receive an RYA certificate which is recognised throughout the world and may be required if you wish to hire a boat while on holiday.
Sail training will be in a variety of dinghies such as Toppers, Lasers, Picos and Wayfarers.
The course is usually run over a weekend in May each year.
Each evening, hot snacks are available from the Galley as well as refreshments from the bar.
As an added bonus Newtownards Sailing Club are offering a discounted rate for those who compete the course.
