Courses helping you to enjoy a lifetime on the water.

WRSC are keen to generate more activity and interest around the club and to make sailing more enjoyable for all. To support this, we are offering training and coaching for all current, new and potential members.

Although you don't legally need a licence to skipper a vessel in UK waters, RYA qualifications are highly respected worldwide and can be used as proof of competence. Whether you want to charter a yacht on holiday or start a career at sea, an RYA certificate proves your experience and ability as a skipper.

The key courses we offer at WRSC are:

• Taster sessions – Saturday xxx May (members and non-members)
• RYA Level 1 – Start Sailing – Saturdays xxx and xxx of June (members only)
• RYA Level 2 – Basic Skills – Saturdays xxx June and xxx July (members only) (xxx July as spare)
• RYA Level 3 – Better Sailing – Dates TBA (members only)
