Haversham Sailing Club is a RYA Recognised Training Centre. Qualifications earned on RYA courses are recognised and valued in most parts of the world. We have a superb team of volunteer Senior Instructors, Instructors and Assistant Instructors who give their time freely which enables us to offer a wide range of courses at a very reasonable cost. All of our courses run over two days and two evening sessions, usually Thursday evening for shorebased work and Saturdays are spent afloat. The RYA scheme is structured to enable an absolute beginner to become a safe, competent sailor.

Basic Scheme

• RYA Level 1 Start Sailing – for total beginners
• RYA Level 2 Basic Skills – for those with Level 1 or equivalent skills and experience
• RYA Level 3 Better Sailing – for those who have completed Level 2

Powerboat Training
The club runs RYA Powerboat and Safety Boat courses – usually one of each annually – for members opting to join the safety boat team for their preferred duty.

The club also organises first aid courses, together with food hygiene training for those who serve in the galley.

All courses are advertised on the Training notice board in the clubhouse, on the website and the Yahoo! group. The club Calendar also has up to date details of what courses are on and when. To discuss your requirements or to apply for places on courses please email: training@havershamsc.org
