Seamanship Skills and Sailing with Spinnakers will open the door to sailing faster boats, launching and recovering the boat in different circumstances, stopping, reducing sail, recovering a man overboard, anchoring and for some they're the most fun advanced modules!

Please note that as RYA Advanced Youth courses are taught in double-handed sailing dinghys. The RYA has realised guidance on the 6th of August confirming that Stage 4 courses and above can be taught to those in different households and seperate bubbles.

If you are looking for a single handed option, you can still get afloat and practicing, just book our improver group instead.

Join us at SWAC for a week of fun and exciting learn to sail course for children. SWAC is known for our emphasis on having fun while learning new skills, in the heart of Southampton.
