The Training group has been running RYA courses since 1995. We aim to provide a friendly and safe location to learn to sail. A considerable part of our membership now consists of those who have learnt to sail within the Training Group, and we have recently run a course training another group of instructors.

The Training Group is developing resources and a youth racing programme to encourage young sailors to race. Three staff are qualified as RYA Club Race Coaches and provide tuition and coaching for the youth group in racing techniques.

The training group has a growing fleet of boats for teaching consisting of GP14s, Enterprises, Toppers and Picos.

Our RYA Level 2 courses are run over 10 half day sessions, with the aim that by the end of the course you would be comfortable rigging, launching and sailing a boat on your own in light winds.

RYA Seamanship skills courses are run to improve upon the skills learnt at level 2. This module covers anchoring, reefing afloat, man-overboard and other more advanced manoeuvres. Essentially this course encourages you to become an independent sailor in moderate conditions.

We also run the RYA Young Sailors' Scheme which offers certificates at Stages 1 to 3.

In order to allow members to feel confident using the club safety boats we also run RYA level 2 power boat courses.
