Course Outlines and Prices of Training Courses are displayed on our website. All training is exclusively for current Littleton Sailing Club or lodger club members.
We deliver RYA Adult level 1, 2 & 3 in 'RS Vision' model dinghies. For Level 1 training (day 1&2), you will have an Instructor in the dinghy with you, and a second student. (The picture above shows the size of the dinghies). For the second weekend, you will sail with another student.
For any applicants with particular concerns about intimate proximity we can consider coaching in a single person dinghy, where agreed in advance. These do require some dexterity, and the coaching will follow a slightly different pathway, suitable for single hander dinghies.
For RYA Youth training applications please apply through our Youth Training web page. You will be directed to our TeamApp, to provide full personal details in a secure account that you control all personal information.
If you have any concerns, health or physical movement issues, you must let us know in this application. You can also email me and Im happy to talk over options for everyone to participate in sailing. Andrew Selves
