RYA Level 1 - Start Sailing (Keelboat) 1st & 2nd July 2023
2023-07-01 09:00 - 2023-07-02 17:00
RYA Level 1 (Start Sailing) course is an ideal course for the novice with little to no sailing experience. The Colgate 26 keelboat we use to deliver our training is forgiving and stable with easy access from a pontoon mooring in Torquay Harbour.

By the end of the two-day course you will have a basic understanding of keelboat handling techniques and accompanying background knowledge. Once you have completed the course you can then go on to consolidate your knowledge with the RYA Level 2 (Basic Skills) and RYA Level 3 (Better Sailing) courses. We maintain a low student to instructor ratio of 3:1 to ensure as much time at the helm as possible.
