Another opportunity in the 2026 season for our RYA Youth Stage 3 & 4 full training courses. Open to DSC junior members and or any young people aged 8 – 17 years of age.

This is the part of the RYA Youth National sailing scheme – An introduction to the parts of the boat and the basic principles of how to get a boat sailing.

Optimise your time & the young people’s time on the water by combining both the RYA Youth Stage 3 & Stage 4 courses into a single week’s, 5  full days course @ DSC! Obviously there may be further practise required to achieve the standard required to be awarded both stages of the qualification!

Participants must already have their RYA Youth Stage 1&2 to join this course!

Prices:  MEMBERS price £200 (180*),   NON-member price £225 (210*)     (*indicates sibling discount prices for any additional siblings)

If you have any questions, please email the club: DSC Training

Please come prepared to go afloat, bring sun cream, warm hat, a towel, and a change of clothes for the way home in the car. A fleece would also be useful, as although our classroom is heated, it can be cool when coming off the water, often we’ll use the outside space. Changing and shower facilities will be available. Wetsuits & buoyancy aids will be available, they must be rinsed at the end of each day. Don’t forget to bring a packed lunch. For more details and tips on what to bring, click here: Training Course Essential Information

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.
