SESCA's RYA Course Information

SESCA is an RYA Recognised Training Centre

• Our instructors are fully qualified by the RYA and are mainly Members who volunteer

• The cost of the course includes the RYA course Logbook

• Our training fleet of dinghies includes Optimists, Toppers, Lasers and Wanderers.

What to wear?

• Generally for just learning to sail, some old trousers (not jeans because they hold too much water when wet), a warm top (not a fleece or woollen jumper, again they hold too much water), and old trainers-style shoes will do (not crocs - too slippery)

• In the Summer: high factor sun cream on your face, a baseball hall, and sun glasses are useful - remember to tie the glasseson with string or a retainer

• In the Spring and Autumn: a warm hat and gloves

• Splash or spray tops are useful and will reduce wind chill

• When sailing it's best to wear lots of thin layers rather than fewer thick layers: they all trap insulating air between them

• A buoyancy aid is essential - but we can provide you with one.

When?

Our courses are typically run at weekends over 2 days and usually start at 9.30 and run until 17:00 with a break for lunch and a short break in the morning and afternoon. Bring lunch, drinks and a snack. Please arrive promptly.

What in?

Usually you will start the course in a double-handed boat - like the Wanderer - with an instructor, and then move onto a single-handed boat as you progress.

How Much?

Current 2-day RYA course fees are:

• Adult - £125.00

• Youth - £115.00
