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 more:

The club is running  an adult course over the weekends of 29/30 June and 6/7 July.

The course is  RYA National Sailing Scheme (NSS) Level 1 & 2. It is is designed for complete beginners or novice sailors, and aims to provide participants with an opportunity to establish or improve their sailing skills, allowing them by the end of the course to sail independently and achieve a Level 1 or 2 RYA NSS Certificate.

Coaching takes place in double-handed Wayfarer training boats and places on each course are limited to 10 adults ( aged 16 yrs & over)

The course leader is Norman Price and the cost will be in the region of £140 for club members and £190 for non club members . The cost includes the use of club/RYA boat and  teas, coffees, etc. during the course. Non-club members will receive a discount off club membership if they join the club within 6 months of completing the course.

The course takes place over the 2 weekends of 29/30 June and 6/7 July, with an introductory evening before the first weekend. (Tuesday 25 June)
