We can offer training for adults and juniors to the same standard as professionally run centres.
We have a team of experienced RYA qualified instructors and safety crew ready to provide a safe and enjoyable programme to get you on the water and sailing with confidence.
Everyone in the team is a volunteer and we rely on them giving up their spare time to plan and run these courses. We all do our best but we don’t have people sitting in an office dealing with enquiries full (or even part) time.
We try to publish a calendar of training dates as early as possible but sometimes have to ask students to join a course without as much notice as we (or they) would like depending on instructor and safety crew availability.
Sailing training courses
All our sailing courses are offered in dinghies of various classes.
If you complete your course successfully, you will have learnt how a boat sails and how to sail a small boat.
To obtain a “level” or “stage” of RYA training takes 2 days.
Power boat training courses
We run training courses for power boats with a range of boats and engines.
RYA Power Boat Level 2 is a great qualification to have. It also helps the club hugely as there are more people able to drive the powerboats when required.
RSC Members: £170 per course.
Non-Members: £260 per course.
If you are not a member; why not take the plunge and join us… go on, it doesn’t cost much to be part of RSC!
How to book
Ready to start your sailing journey?
Please contact us to book your training course or to find out more about our available dates and course options. Let us know what dates you would like to attend. If you want us to train children it helps to know their age.
Please note that applying does not guarantee a place, we will let you know as soon as possible if we are able to accept you onto the day(s) that you would like.
Due to the volunteer nature of our instructors, we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred dates.
