Course Details

Duration: One  weekend. Maximum 5 students per course.

Previous experience required: None

Content: Short introduction to sail cruising for novices.

Start Yachting is the first step of the RYA ladder. It is the course for the absolute beginner who wishes to experience sailing aboard a cruising yacht and is not sure if sailing is for them.  By the end of the weekend participants will have experienced steering a yacht, sail handling, ropework and be aware of safety on board.  Holders of a start yachting certificate can obtain a competent crew certificate by completing a further two weekends of the competent crew course.
