Previous Experience - None
This 2 day course is aimed at the complete novice who would like to try sailing for the first time before signing up for a 5 day course, like RYA Competent Crew.
The Instructor will guide you through the safety procedures and ensure that you are comfortable before heading out for an enjoyable sail. By the end of the 2 days you will be familiar with sails and how to use them, comfortable at the helm and able to drive the boat. You will experience one night staying on board a larger yacht in your own cabin.
Upon completion you can then progress onto the RYA Competent Crew Course.
