LEARNING TO SAIL

TEENAGERS + ADULTS

START SAILING 2 DAY RYA LEVEL 1 (DIW)

One of the best courses we offer - most sailors can still remember their first steps afloat in a dinghy and the River Exe is a great place to learn. Taken over the weekend or 2 days during the week, this 2 day course is spent with your instructor within the boat and our tuition ratios are normally 2:1. The first day involves rigging, going about, sailing upwind, points of sail and basic rules. Following a re-cap the second day we go through sailing down wind, gybing, and then after lunch we are normally ready for your first solo sail. With the instructor coaching from a safety boat, this session is followed by a de-brief and certification. It is recommended that this course is followed by a 3 day RYA Level 2 course.

Dates: Anytime from April-End of Oct providing we have a minimum of 2 people.

Cost: £165
