This is a 2 day non-residential “taster” course that simply takes you sailing along Antigua’s beautiful west coastline. The course provides a short introduction to sail cruising for novices. No previous experience is required and there is a recommended minimum age of 12.
This Level 1 course, when followed by the Basic Skills – Level 2 course may be carried forward to the RYA Competent Crew practical course, which would be achieved after a further 3 days or 2 weekends of training.
By the end of the course you will have a basic understanding of yacht handling under sail, including practical techniques and background knowledge. It is recommended that all participants consolidate this short introduction with the Basic Skills – Level 2 course.
If you have previous experience of sailing with family, friends or a holiday outing, and have already decided you have been “bitten”, you may skip Level 1 and Level 2 and go straight into RYA Competent Crew and begin your sail training in earnest.
