  (Back to Top)

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 (Back to Top)

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.

Complete Beginners (Back to Top)

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 (Back to Top)

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? (Back to Top)

Our courses are held at the Club Premises on Bexhill seafront.

The Induction Morning is Saturday 13th April 2024. The course will be run on Saturdays, starting on Saturday 8th June for 8 consecutive weeks, ending on Saturday 27^th July with our Sail Training Regatta on 10th August (weather depending). The start times will vary, with some morning sessions and some afternoon sessions, to suit the tide on that particular day.
