Learn to Sail at Croydon Sailing Club
****
The course provides RYA Level 1 training for beginners - theory lessons, practical exercises, and skill development on the water.
****
It is two-day weekend course for adults from 9:30am to 5:30pm, teaching beginners how to sail. You’ll learn how to rig and launch a sailing dinghy, then through step-by-step instruction and practice ashore beforehand, beginners go afloat steering the dinghy across the wind - supported by instructors shadowing the sailing from powerboats. Over the two days, with practice afloat, beginners will learn how to leave and return to the jetty safely and follow a course through main points of sail.
****
Expert Instruction - Participants learn from skilled instructors from powerboat supervision on the lake. We use laser picos which are simple to rig and training dinghies used by many RYA Training Centres.
****
Career Advancement - Courses fees include handbook and logbook so students can work towards next level certificate. In addition, students become members of the Sailing Club so they can practice sailing with members of 'Go Sailing' Group.
