Learn to sail with the RYA Possibly the quickest and easiest way to learn to sail. Small boats are easy to handle and generally light to launch and transport. Learn to sail on your own in a single handed boat or with a crew.

You can potter about exploring your local stretch of water, join a sailing club full of like-minded people, or learn to race.

Adult and youth sailing courses: our National and Youth Sailing Schemes are a series of two-day courses for anyone wanting to learn in dinghies, small keelboats or multihulls. They're designed to help you enjoy whichever aspect of the sport appeals to you. Following on from the early courses in both the National Sailing Scheme and the Youth Sailing Scheme, you can choose one of five advanced modules to suit your sailing interests, eg. Start Racing, Day Sailing, Seamanship Skills, Sailing with Spinnakers and Performance Sailing. These are available to both adults and young people.
