RYA Youth Sailing (1/2) - Learn to Sail

Wembley Sailing Club offers an exciting programme of sailing courses for young people. Learn to Sail is the first step in our Sailing Pathway, replacing the previous Stage 1/2 course.

It introduces complete beginners to the basic concepts of sailing. Throughout the week, sailors will work towards the RYA Stage 2 qualification. By the end of the week participants will have a range of sailing skills and knowledge and will be well on the way to being a confident and independent sailor.

Our courses are focused on Safe, Fun and Learning! We incorporate the RYA Onboard scheme into our sailing programmes, backed by research to improve confidence, intuition and teamwork skills, helping children to thrive both on and off the water.

Our sessions are led by fully qualified, DBS-checked instructors, who create a safe and supportive environment where your child can explore their potential, build resilience, and make lasting friendships.

Assumed knowledge: No or little sailing experience.

RYA Stage 1 content: Launching and recovery a dinghy, team building exercises, sailing theory, parts of the boat and basic sailing manoeuvres.

RYA Stage 2 content: Basic sailing skills, tacking, controlling boat speed, rope-work and collision avoidance.

All courses run from 09:30 to 16:30.
