Thorpe Hall Centenary Regatta

RYA Stage 2 Course – Adults Only (£50)

17th and 18th May 2025

Sam Weller will be offering an opportunity for 12 ADULT members to complete their RYA Stage 2 Sailing Course. This course is designed to give novice sailors a greater understanding of basic sailing skills, as well as the progression to put participants in a confident position to begin stage 3. Over the 2 days participants will develop their skills in boat handling, rigging, terminology, the ‘5 essentials’ of sailing, and more! We recommend this course to Adults with a basic understanding of sailing that wish to have a greater knowledge of what sailing has to offer.

To enquire about your place on this course, or if you have any other questions, please send a message to Sam Weller at 07484890876 or email [email protected] before 25/4/2025
