Quaystage Training -  RYA Sailing Courses

 

Quaystage training provides dedicated Youth and Teen RYA Courses to schools and individuals throughout the year. 

As a recognised RYA Training Centre able to offer the full RYA Yachtmaster Training Syllabus.  Throughout the sailing seaon we offer a full range of practical and shore-based courses, along with a number of online theory courses.  

Our courses are predominantly open to young people aged 12-24, however, we do run adult training weeks during the school term period.  Details of which can be found on our Adult and Corporate Sailing pages. 

All our Summer Teen and Youth Sail Camp Adventures offer RYA Certification, and are run during the school holiday periods.

Supervision and Safeguarding on our RYA Courses.

There will never be more than 4/5 students on board a dedicated RYA Course weeks although the yacht sleeps up to 8 this enables us to provide accommodation to meet additional supervision for Safeguarding requirements if needed.  It also means we are able to offer the best trainee: instructor ratios to those on board.  

Our courses will be  FULLY INCLUSIVE of accommodation on board the yacht, meals, hire of wet weather gear, life jackets and berthing fees.

Which RYA Course?

We run all the RYA Sailing Courses on modern yachts and our instructors and examiners are the chosen for their patience and excellent reputations and are proud of our reputation for running courses for both Young People and Adults.

If you have never sailed before the best course to start with is an RYA Start Yachting Course where you can start learning from the basics.  This course enables you to “Try it and See” if you like sailing

Beginners can take 5 day RYA Competent Crew, which can also be conducted on 2 weekends ( 1 x 2day and 1 x 3 day)  or add the 3 day weekend to their start yachting experience.

The next step is the RYA Day Skipper Theory, followed by the RYA Day Skipper Practical Sailing Course which prepares you to take a boat out on your own as Skipper and gives you the confidence to charter a boat.  This course is usually 5 days but can also be completed over 2 weekends (1 x 2 day and 1 x 3 Day)

Having conquered day skipper the you can then complete your RYA Coastal Skipper Practical Course , giving you that extra confidence for passage making and night sailing. 

You can then do RYA Coastal and Yachtmaster Theory, and then after building up your mile with one of our Mile Builders in your logbook you can go for the RYA Coastal Yachtmaster Preparation and Exam Course, before moving to enhance all your skills with a little more experience to undertake the RYA Yachtmaster Coastal/ RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Preparation and Exam Course  commercially endorsing it to work in the industry as a skipper or as cruising Instructor. Your next step, is to study the art of astro navigation in the RYA Ocean Yachtmaster Theory course to enable you to truly, explore, sail, and discover!

If you need to brush up any practical skills along the way our practical skills weekends are an ideal and social way to learn.
