Adult Courses

The RYA’s National Sailing Scheme is a series of 2-3 day courses for those wanting to learn to sail or progress further. It has been designed to help you enjoy whichever aspect of the sport appeals to you and accommodates a wide range of boat types: traditional dinghies, newer asymmetrical spinnaker designs and keelboats.(See our fleet page for more on boats)

Adult Courses

The ICC offers all the modules shown in the above diagram. Each module is a 2 to 3 day course so you can develop skills over a series of weekends. We also offer combinations of modules as a 4 to 6 day course, allowing space to cement the skills learned.

Sailing is a sport which gets better with practice, and you should try to sail between courses whenever you can. Practice makes perfect! After level 2 you can join one of our ICC progressive courses to cement skills, try different boats and get more practice under the watchful eye of a qualified Instructor.
