RYA Sailing Skills
Level 1 - Start Sailing

Come sail the finest cruising grounds in Northern Europe upon one of our residential sailing courses, starting and finishing in Jersey. Take in the breath taking scenery, enjoy the pleasant weather, spot dolphins, all whilst learning how to sail. Not only is Jersey the sunniest spot in the UK but it also easy to get to from the UK with short and frequent direct flights from all major UK airports. All this and conveniently English speaking. Nearer to France but closer to home.
This 2 day course is an introduction to sailing.  At the end of the course you will have experienced steering a yacht, sail handling, rope work and be aware of safety aboard.  This course is aimed at having great fun, whilst learning about sailing a yacht.

What experience is needed?

No previous knowledge or experience is required to join this course. 

What to expect?

During this course we will sail to one of the other Channel Islands or to a nearby French port and stay overnight before returning to Jersey.  It is ideally suited to the complete novice who would like to have a go at sailing for the first time and is a great pre-cursor to the RYA Competent Crew course.
