INTRODUCTION

This summer ELYC are offering RYA Youth Stage 1&2 courses for new & beginner sailors and for improvers we are offering Stage 3/Start Racing and Stage 4/Seamanship Courses. The programme is run by a professional team of RYA instructors with some voluntary help and provides a fun, safe and supportive introduction to sailing in the stunning setting of North Berwick.

COURSE INFORMATION

The improvers courses are for those who have successfully completed the learn to sail course and hold their RYA Stage 2 (or equivalent experience). We would recommend that students have some other sailing experience, for example attending our weekly sailing sessions, since  completing their course. Participants who have not sailed since completing their Stage 2 will be unlikely to pass the Stage 3, and may wish to repeat the RYA Stage 2 course first. The exact content of courses will be dependent on the participants skill mix and weather. 



IMPORTANT INFORMATION

It should be noted that certificates are awarded through the RYA scheme, and thus only awarded when skills can be shown at the correct level. The club takes no responsibility for the completion of certificates, we will support participants towards achieving their best. However, it is important that junior sailors present with the right skill level for the course they wish to do.
