From first-time sailors to those looking to develop or refresh their skills, we offer dinghy sailing for youth and adults at all of our centres and can offer school and group sessions throughout the season!

Never sailed before? Think you might like it but not sure? Anyone ages 8+ can come and have a go at one of our Dinghy Sailing Taster Sessions!

RYA Youth Dinghy Sailing Stages 1–4 are a fun, confidence-building introduction to sailing for young people aged 8–18. Through hands-on learning and games on the water, sailors build skills step by step - from first time afloat to sailing independently.

RYA Adult Dinghy Sailing Levels 1–3 offer a practical, confidence-building route into sailing, whether you’re completely new or looking to develop your skills. Learn through hands-on instruction, progressing from beginner or rusty to confident sailor.

As an RYA Pathway Club, we offer high quality coaching, support and guidance to help young sailors grow in confidence through structured training.

Schools, youth clubs and organisations!
For anyone from aged 8-18, we can provide safe, fun and equal access to sailing
