Youth Courses
The NSSA runs a programme of courses aimed at providing affordable training for young people who wish to learn to sail.
We offer Royal Yachting Association(RYA) affiliated courses delivered by RYA qualified Instructors at significantly lower prices than commercial sailing schools. Our membership fee is £30.00 per year and entitles any young person to participate in our programme.
Adult Training
The NSSA also offers adult courses, accommodating complete beginners through to advanced level and can offer RYA Instructor courses to those interested in getting involved with the association at instructor level, to help teach and coach our Youth members.
Adult members have the opportunity to continue learning and training over the Winter periods. Our Winter Sailing Sessions are for those who can cope with the cold and strong winds. It can get interesting when it's icy and the ducks are skating!
Come & Try It Days
If you are not sure whether sailing is for you then why not come along to one of our Come & Try It Days. You do not need previous sailing experience for these events where we can offer you the opportunity to try dinghy sailing in a safe, friendly environment, supervised by fully qualifed RYA instructors.
Our Come and Try It Days are usually scheduled for May and July in each year. The days activities are designed to allow would-be sailors the opportunity to try dinghy sailing before committing to a course. These events provide a great opportunity to introduce your friends to sailing, whether children or adults. A great day out for everyone.
In the past, these Come and Try It Days have proved extremely popular so its important to book early. If you are interested in coming along and having a go, under the watchful eye of our RYA Instructors, please contact us.
