The Nottingham Sailing Club

Learn-To-Sail Weekends 2010

[ RYA Level 1 ]


We plan to hold Introduction to Sailing Courses during the weekends of

April 17th/18th

May 22nd/23rd
Jun 12th/13th
giving, weather-permitting, two full days sailing (approx 0900 to 1730).

These courses are open to Members and non-Members. The majority of the weekend is spent on the water, by the end you should be able to helm a boat. The Course runs alongside normal Club activities, providing an insight into racing and the Club as a whole. Book early as places are limited.

No previous experience is needed, the courses being designed for absolute beginners.  The Club will provide your Instructor, boat, life-jacket, lunch and refreshments, although you may use your own boat and/or jacket by arrangement.  You should not book for the course unless you are physically fit for this sport.
The cost for the weekend is £125 (Members £100).  Those who are not already Members will be elected to Temporary Membership of the Club for the month following the Course; this allows the same use of the Club and  its facilities as all other Members, but the Club will not be organising any further formal Instruction after the Sunday.  Course Members will also benefit from a reduced Joining Fee should they join the Club in the ensuing few months.  Courses will be restricted to a maximum of 12 places, which will be allocated in order of receipt of Application Forms accompanied by payment in full.
