Take the Next Step with RYA Training at Elton

Whether you are completely new to sailing or ready to build your confidence and become more independent on the water, our next RYA courses are the perfect opportunity to develop your skills.

Both courses take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September, from 9am until 5pm, and are delivered in a safe, friendly and supportive environment.

Training at Elton is available exclusively to club members. The tuition itself is free as part of your membership, with only a small charge for course materials and certification.

RYA Level 1 Start Sailing

The ideal starting point for adult members who are new to sailing.

Across the two days, you will learn the essential skills needed to get started, including preparing and launching a boat, controlling the sails, steering, turning and sailing safely in different directions.

No previous sailing experience is required—just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn! By the end of the course, you should have the basic skills and confidence to sail in light winds with supervision.

The course materials and certificate fee is £20.

RYA Level 2 Better Sailing

Already completed Level 1 and spent some time practising? Perhaps you have started sailing independently but would benefit from some additional tuition?

RYA Level 2 will help you develop greater control, confidence and independence, building on your existing skills and helping you get even more enjoyment from your time on the water.

This course is suitable for adult members who have completed Level 1 and sailed since, or those who have learned to sail independently and would like further guidance.

The Level 2 course fee is £25.
