An opportunity for adults to learn the basic skills required to sail a dinghy or a larger keelboat & covering the requirements for the RYA Adult syllabus.  Running over 2 days / over a weekend 9.30am start to try and get as much time on the water as possible, and finishing 4.30pm, course is starting on Saturday 31st May,

An introduction to sailing dinghies for complete adult beginners, covering everything you need to know to get afloat, and sail a dinghy under supervision. See the full syllabus here.

The clubhouse and facilities will be available for changing etc. So please come prepared to go afloat, bring warm hats & clothes / footwear you don’t mind getting wet, and a spare change of clothes if you get wet  and also a towel and toiletries for a shower after. DSC can provide a  wetsuit and Bouancy Aid but bring your own if you have one please. You’ll need swimwear for underneath, a towel and toiletries for a shower after, and old shoes you don’t mind getting wet in the sea if you haven’t anything else suitable.

 

Safety is our priority so all sessions are weather dependant, we’ll try our best to offer alternative nights if its unsafe to go afloat. The course requires a minimun of 6 people to be viable as a learning experience.

 

Please be aware that cancellations and amendments to bookings will be subject to a £20 administration fee, cancellations will not be refunded until the place has been rebooked by another participant – unless in exceptional circumstances. Apologies for enforcing this rule, but to facilitate the course, DSC has to employ staff and purchase documentation in advance, and overheads are obviously involved.
