RYA Stage 1, 2 or 3 training delivered over a full week, booking early is essential. No experience is necessary to book onto the Stage 1 course, Stage 1 is required to book onto Stage 2 and Stage 2 is required to book onto Stage 3.
What is the course?
After a weeks boating and theory you will be more confident and able when sailing a dinghy in light to moderate conditions. Exactly what you will do will be dependent upon the course you are taking. Those going for their Stage 1 will spend their week in the bigger boats with an instructor onboard, those on the Stage 2 course are likely to be in Pico's and Stage 3 candidates are likely to be in lasers or Feva's.
What should I bring?
