£50 off when booking the Level 1 and 2 together. Please contact the office for payment.

RYA Basic Skills (Level 2) - This course consolidates what you have already learnt on the start sailing course and sets the foundations for developing your sailing skills further. You will work towards having the confidence and ability to make your own decisions and sail proficiently in light to medium winds.

This course also includes 2 months free club membership.

All two day courses require a minimum number of participants to run for the full duration. However, we pride ourselves on never cancelling a course due to low numbers. Instead we can run a course in a reduced amount of time. For example a course with a ratio of 1:1 will run for 1 1/2 days.
