Sailing
Achieve RYA qualifications from Youth Stages to advanced modules with expert instruction.
What's Involved?
We run a comprehensive range of RYA sailing courses for all ages from 8 upwards, all delivered by highly qualified and caring instructors.
Our courses operate with exceptionally high instructor ratios – typically 2-4 students per instructor – coupled with a wide selection of excellent training boats to ensure quality learning. Children's and teenage courses (ages 8-12 and 12-15) run within the RYA Youth Scheme, offering Stages 1-4. Adults can progress through the RYA scheme appropriate to their level.
We also offer specialist RYA Modules including Seamanship Skills, Day Sailing, Spinnakers, and Performance Sailing for those wanting to develop specific techniques.
Whether it's your first time on the water or you're honing racing skills in high-performance boats, we'll place you with others of similar experience and guide your progression to the next level in Chichester Harbour's beautiful and sheltered waters.
