learn to sail
Blackwater Sailing Club is affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and runs a Sailing School which is a recognised RYA training centre approved to run courses from the Youth Sailing Scheme and National Sailing Scheme. We also run Power Boat Level 2 courses and First Aid courses. Our RYA courses are only open to club members, and some are offered by invitation only. The Sailing School is staffed by Club Members who volunteer their time to train other members in all aspects of sailing. We work closely with the Cadet team and most of our training is provided for our Cadets who have three or four training weekends throughout the season and a Cadet Week of training and fun activities during the summer holidays. For those youngsters progressing into racing, we have coaching groups during the training events and some during club races. We are an RYA British Youth Sailing recognised Club, so encourage our Cadets to go to regional and national events to compete at a higher level. Find out more about our Cadets. |
| We have also recently started running adult RYA Dinghy Level 1/2 courses according to demand but timing will be subject to availability of Club Instructors. In addition to this there will be informal adult beginners sailing evenings on Thursdays in June. There will be experienced club sailors on hand to help you in our club boats or your own boat. "Can I try sailing?"Prospective BSC members who are new to sailing are encouraged to come to our annual Open Day when sailing tasters are offered free of charge. Open Day is usually held in May - the 2021 Open Day is on Saturday 1st May - watch our website for details or Contact Us |
