RYA Dinghy Sailing Level 3 (Adult)

Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Level 3 – Better Sailing

This course will cover further coaching to consolidate the skills learned during Level 1 - Start Sailing, and Level 2 - Basic Skills. There will also be short taster sessions from the advanced modules such as Seamanship skills and Day Sailing. This course does involve moving around the dinghy. If you have difficulty moving in small spaces, please consider our Keelboat sailing course instead.

This course is aimed at adults. We also offer youth sailing courses which can be booked separately.

Please be aware this course requires a minimum of 2 people to run. (This is a two day course)

Safety is our number one priority. In the event of poor weather conditions (e.g. strong winds or thunder and lightning) or other incidents we reserve the right to restrict water access to particular user groups, restrict the area available for activities, cancel sessions or close the lake. We will endeavour to give advance notice whenever possible; however sometimes decisions need to be made at short notice. If we close the lake, we will add a message to our website and endeavour to contact all customers impacted to offer the opportunity to reschedule their session or receive a refund.

Dinghy sailing skills to the standard of RYA Level 2 Basic Skills.

You do not need to have completed the RYA Level 2 course, however your dinghy sailing should be to that standard.
