RYA Level 2 (dinghy)

This 2 day course is the next step on the RYA syllabus. The course runs from 10am – 5pm with an hour for lunch.

Once completed the successful sailor will have a good understanding of what makes sailing safe and be capable of sailing confidently on his/her own in light winds.

The two day RYA Level 2 course at Glenridding Sailing Centre can be combined with our RYA 5 Day Course.

Emphasis is still given to the ‘on the water’ practical side, however there is more depth given to the theory. We continually and positively assess students and keep them informed of their progress.
