Youth RYA Sailing Courses

Youth Sailing at the Club runs all year round. With its extensive holiday programme, weekend and evening clubs, Youth Sailing has never been so strong at Bewl and is constantly growing!

The RYA Youth Sailing Scheme has been developed to give young people aged 8 - 16 a fun and enjoyable way to learn to sail. This is broken down into four stages and once each stage has been achieved, a certificate will be awarded.

Already got your RYA Stage 2 or higher? Want to build upon your skills, sail all year round and make new friends? Check out our Youth Squad activities, open to all Club members aged 8 – 16 providing lots of fantastic opportunities to get out on the water and improve your sailing !
