RYA Training

As a Club we can deliver a range of RYA certificated courses from Level 1 for those who have never been in a boat before to Performance Sailing for those looking for more speed and power! . Meanwhile we can offer RYA Start Windsurfing as well for those who want to try this exciting sport. We have a range of options available including weekend courses and 5-day Monday-Friday courses to help you find the course that is right for you.

Below are a couple of diagrams showing the pathway through the RYA Dinghy and Windsurfing Schemes, and at the bottom of the page are some links to more information about what is involved in each course.

On our training courses all specialist equipment and boats are provided, you just need to join us with your lunch and clothes which can get wet!

Let's Go Sailing

Let's Go Sailing is our evening group which runs on Tuesday evenings, and is designed to allow members to sail with support, coaching and advice from our instructor team to progress their sailing. We have several groups on a Tuesday evening:

- We have an Adult Learn to Sail group, for adults who either have no experience of sailing or are very new to sailing! One of our qualified instructors will teach and guide you through your introduction to the great world of sailing! This activity runs for 6 weeks, and is booked in a block. Please book onto week 1 and this reserves your space for all 6 weeks!
- Adult Improver Sailing is open to any of our members with some previous sailing experience. One of our qualified instructors will teach and guide you as you develop your sailing skills! We will look at a variety of topics/skills all aimed at giving you the confidence to sail more, and show you what you could do with your sailing such as coming alongside, better launching/landing, basic racing skills and more! This activity runs for 6 weeks, and is booked in a block. Please book onto week 1 and this reserves your space for all 6 weeks!
- New for 2024 we will be running an RYA Sailing with Spinnakers course during block 1, and an RYA Club Racing Course in Block 2!

Class Captain's Race Training

At Spinnaker Sailing Club we have a variety of established classes or fleets of boats including Lasers, Solos and Fireflys. Throughout the year the Class Captains organise class specific training to help their sailors get the most out of their boats whilst racing.
