You should have completed the Advanced Boat Handling course and been sailing regularly to do our two week Start Racing course. This course is also now necessary if you would like to progress onto our Adventure Skills course.

Start Racing is the fastest way to learn the boat handling skills that are so useful as an instructor and in college sailing. It is also a great way of getting in some practise in if you would like to take part in club and inter club racing through a bit of competitive fun!

This is the course to do once you have completed Start Sailing. Having picked up the basic skills on Start Sailing, you are now ready to expand your horizons. During this two week course, we concentrate on boat handling and seamanship skills. By the end of the course, you should be confident to helm your own dinghy in light wind conditions without assistance from your instructor.

Please Note:

When applying for courses at the level of Improving Skills and above, it is important that the sailor has logged some sailing time following the previously completed course in order to consolidate the skills learned. A sailor moving directly up to the next level without having sailed since the previous course will find it difficult to achieve the required standard needed to pass the course assessment.
