Successful completion of this course may qualify you for a Scout Sailsport badge and may also qualify towards a RYA Junior Scheme stage/Adult Level award in the future. If you have previously attended any RYA training courses and have a log book please bring it with you. All courses qualify towards the Scout Time on the Water Badge.

I’m new to Sailing?

As a Cub or Scout you will start on the path of the Youth Sailing Scheme and as an Explorer or older you will start on the Adult Scheme both of which map to the Scout Sailing Stage badges.

Your session

On arrival, and after a centre briefing, you will have a short discussion with your instructor about what you want out of the day and the format of the training. Then we will either rig the boats and get you on the water for some fun and learning or get you on the water and then at the end derig the boats. Feedback on your achievements will be given by your instructor at the end of the day with an action plan on where to go next.
