RYA Youth Sailing Courses Stages 1-4, non-residential (8-16 years)
We are very lucky at Blairvadach to have an amazing selection of dinghies and multihull sailing boats available to use. We will sail right in front of the centre where we have excellent facilities, a purpose built slipway, a floating teaching platform, and a wet classroom if needed for theory sessions. As your experience grows we will venture further out onto the water to experience the sheer exhilaration of being powered by the wind. We run RYA courses suitable for complete beginners or experienced sailors alike, probably the quickest and easiest way to get afloat.
