Competitive sailing requires muscle strength, endurance/agility, physical fitness, mental wellness, relaxation, concentration, decision-making and communication. Many people think sailing is expensive and for only the "elite". It doesn't have to be. Through club courses, RYA training can cost as little as 40 per day for a 5 day summer course (or 30 per day for members), including boat hire.
Once you grasp the basics, members can use club dinghies at local sailing events. Sailing isn't only an exciting experience, it offers a lot of positive benefits to young people's mental and physical health, decision making and confidence. Its a skill for life. Throughout the summer months, we run a range of training programmes for different ages and abilities, as part of the RYA training pathway.
