Bexhill Sailing Club is affiliated to and approved by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) as a Training Centre for RYA Level 1 and RYA Level 2 Dinghy Sailing.
RYA Qualified Instructors
We have a team of experienced sailors who have completed and passed RYA Dinghy Instructor courses and are qualified to teach RYA Level 1 and Level 2 Dinghy Sailing.
We love our sport and like nothing more than passing on our skills and knowledge to beginners so that they can join the sailing fraternity and enjoy the fun of simply getting out on the water.
The RYA Level 1 course is aimed at complete beginners with absolutely no sailing experience whatsoever. We will show you the ropes (literally), teach you about the various parts of the boat and what they do, then get you on the water doing a few basic sailing manoeuvres.
We’ll then move on to the RYA Level 2 course, where you’ll learn to sail a dinghy around a triangle course, carrying out all the essential techniques and manoeuvres. You will be able to rig a variety of dinghies, learn where and when to sail safely, and be introduced to all aspects of sailing.
The course is a combined Level 1 and Level 2.
Ideal starting point for sailing bigger boats
Ever fancied sailing around the Greek Islands? How about sailing the Caribbean? Lots of our members do just that. The RYA Level 2 qualification is the ideal springboard to take you on to bigger things.
Where and when does it happen?
Our courses are held at the Club Premises on Bexhill seafront.
Course Induction Day - Saturday 24th May @ 09:00.
The course will be run on Saturdays, starting on Saturday 7th June for 8 consecutive weeks, ending on Saturday 26th July with our Sail Training Regatta on 16th August. The start times will vary, with some morning sessions and some afternoon sessions, to suit the tide on that particular day.
Our Learn to Sail package includes the following:
- 1-year’s full membership of Bexhill Sailing Club
- New members introductory evening
- The RYA handbook “Start Sailing” and an RYA log book

During the course the club will supply buoyancy aids and all necessary equipment for you to sail., and we can answer any questions about the course at the induction session. For example we will ask you to bring footwear and clothing suitable for getting wet, as well as sun tan lotion. Some people also find it helpful to wear thin half finger bicycling or sailing gloves when sailing.
Probably the best value Learn to Sail package in the area!
