RYA Sailing Level 2

Learn and have fun with the Experts

The RYA’s second level two-day sailing course, taught by our highly-qualified instructors in the beautiful surroundings of New Quay bay. 

 

Build your confidence and develop your skills. By the end of this course you’ll be a competent sailor in light winds, and we would let you hire a dinghy on your own (depending on conditions). 

By the end of the course you should be able to:

  • Rig, launch and sail in all directions.
  • Capsize and recover.
  • Have essential safety knowledge.
  • Sail and make decisions in good conditions

The boats we use will depend on the conditions on the dates; you can see our dinghy fleet here

 

We have wetsuits you can hire for £5. You’ll also need to bring lunch or buy it nearby. Bring a towel and swimsuit, and wetsuit boots/old trainers. We provide buoyancy aids.
