Suitable for young people (8+) through to adults, this course combines expert coaching with plenty of time on the water to practice and grow your abilities.


The course will be delivered by RYA dinghy instructors but it is not a certificated RYA course. We do offer these courses throughout the year. If you wish to get more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
