This 5-day course will allow students to earn RYA Stage 3
This 3-day course takes young sailors to the next level, focusing on independent dinghy sailing in a variety of conditions. Participants will develop their skills in rigging, launching, sailing in all directions, and performing accurate manoeuvres such as coming alongside a moored boat, man overboard, and stopping. The course also emphasizes understanding the five essentials of sailing: balance, trim, centreboard, sail setting, and course. Taught in the dynamic waters around Southampton Water, this course prepares sailors for greater autonomy on the water and successful completion can earn their RYA Stage 3 certification.
Looking to try to have a full 5 days of Sailing? We often run Active Sail Advanced on the days following our Stage 3 courses to allow sailors to consolidate and practice their skills!
