RYA Level 2 (dinghy)

We offer a range of RYA courses and tuition in dinghy sailing, for all adults over the age of 16. These courses are offered between April and September each year. In order to take part in these courses you will need to enrol as a member. At the same time you may want to consider the benefits of full membership.

The RYA Level 2: Basic Skills course at Twickenham assumes that the student has previously achieved the RYA Level 1: Start Sailing certificate. This course builds on the skills learned, introduces new ones and supports you along the way to becoming an independent sailor. By the end of the course you should be safety conscious, have a basic knowledge of sailing and be capable of sailing without an instructor on board in light winds. You will be awarded the RYA Level 2 certificate on successfully completing and understanding the modules of the RYA Level 2 syllabus on the National Sailing Scheme.

We can provide buoyancy aids although if you have your own you are welcome to use them. We do not provide wetsuits or protective clothing, and we strongly advise that you acquire your own before starting a course. We can provide advice on what is suitable. You should bring: swimwear (to wear under wetsuit), shoes you are happy to get wet, a towel, a change of clothes, suntan cream, a hat, and a water bottle.
