The Better Sailing improver course is designed to bridge the gap between Level 1 Start Sailing, Level 2 Basic Skills, and the Advanced Modules. It introduces sailors to the different advanced pathways, helping you choose your preferred route within the sport. The course provides plenty of opportunity to practice and consolidate sailing techniques while experiencing some of the activities offered in the advanced modules. It’s an ideal way to build confidence, develop good technique, and enjoy independent sailing.

The course is suitable for anyone aged 16 and over. For younger participants, we recommend the Junior Learn to Sail course. To take part, you should hold the RYA Level 2 Basic Skills certificate or have sufficient experience to sail a dinghy efficiently around a course without instruction.

Better Sailing runs over two days, usually Saturday and Sunday, from 8:30am to 4:30pm. A breakfast sandwich and cooked lunch are provided each day. The course costs £180, and accommodation can be requested and is subject to availability.

The 2024 course dates are 16th & 17th November, offering the perfect opportunity to refine your skills and take your sailing to the next level.
