About Course
RYA Sailing Level 1 introduces complete beginners to sailing and provides everything you need to know to get afloat. You will learn how to sail in all directions, including an understanding of launching and recovering.
This course is a great introduction to the sailing world, and many people then go on to complete RYA Sailing Level 2. Once you have completed RYA Level 2, you will be a competent sailor with solid boat-handling and sailing skills. From there, it is easy to progress to the RYA Competent Crew course and then on to Day Skipper.
On our sailing courses, we use cruiser-racer sailing yachts with excellent performance and handling, making them ideal for learning.
