Embark on a sailing adventure with Tamworth Sailing Club's RYA Level 1 Start Sailing course in Summer 2024. The course kicks off on the 30th of April 2024 and continues every Tuesday evening thereafter. Perfect for beginners, this program introduces participants to sailing over four weekday evenings with no prior experience required.
During the course, participants will learn how to sail in all directions and gain essential knowledge of launching and recovering. By the course conclusion, they will be able to sail in light winds under supervision. To complete the syllabus and obtain the Level 1 certificate, full attendance is necessary. Each session features a teaching ratio of 1 instructor to 2 students, running from 6pm to approximately 10pm.
The course material is covered using the appropriate RYA Handbook to equip participants with the skills and confidence for RYA certification. While practical skills are the focus on-site, some theory work may need to be completed at home. Safety is paramount during the course, requiring all participants to wear buoyancy aids while on jetties or sailing.
Temporary club buoyancy aids are available during the course and must be returned after each session. Participants are encouraged to provide their own buoyancy aid post-course. In case of an emergency, participants are advised to ensure their emergency contact information is up to date and inform the instructors about any medications or pre-existing injuries.
Join Tamworth Sailing Club on this exciting sailing journey, taught by dedicated RYA Instructors who volunteer their time to share their love for sailing. Interested individuals can book their spot for £125, which includes Level 1 training and temporary individual membership. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn and enjoy the beauty of sailing!
