Training
at Blithfield
At Blithfield, the majority of our training is run by
volunteers from our membership who have achived the
relevant RYA standards. Because of our size, you will
find that our courses are enthusiastically run, but on a
less frequent basis than a commercial or seaside venue.
We are a Royal
Yachting Association recognised teaching
establishmentand have a large selection of club boats available for use
during training sessions. As a not-for profit club, we
focus on increasing the numbers in the sport, and heavily
rely on our volunteers, rather than earning money. In
2010 we became one of the RYA's On Board Accredited
Training Centres, highlighting the quality of our
training. Most of our courses are centred around getting
beginners up to speed - click a link below to find out
