West Riding Sailing Club became an RYA recognised training centre in 2009 and can now offer a range of dinghy sailing and power boat courses.

 

 

The next course we are running is a beginners learn to sail course leading to the RYA Level 1 for dinghy sailing.  It will be held on Saturdays on the following dates:

- 3rd October and 10th October

Single Member

The cost including Level 1 training is £30 per person. You must be a member to take advantage of this low cost and membership fees are £130 per year for a single member. So the total cost for Level 1 Training for new members is £160.

Family Membership

If there are several members of you family who would like to train the the family membership is the cheapest option. Family membership is open to families or couples living at the same address. For instance family membership fees are £162 per year. If two members of the same family or couple wish to train then the cost including Level 1 training is £30 per person plus the family membership fee. So the total cost for Level 1 Training for 2 new members of the same family (or couple) is £162 plus £30 plus £30 = £222. This is a saving of £100 over 2 single memberships.

Even considering membership fees the costs of doing RYA Level 1 is extremely competitive with commercial enterprises.  Although memberships runs until December 2009 if you book a training course we will extend your membership until December 2010 for the small fee of £20 (single or family membership).
