Sailing

 

Sailing and windsurfing
 
Getting started
Sailing and windsurfing are two great sports for getting you active and energetic, outside in the fresh air. They're quick and easy to learn with the right tuition you'll have great fun, you'll be speeding along in no time ... and you'll probably get wet!
Once you've learnt the basics, you can actively explore your local stretch of water, join a sailing club full of like-minded people, or learn to race.
No matter what your age or experience, there is a course for you. It won't cost you a fortune, and there's an RYA training centre near you where you can get started. Find one at www.rya.org.uk/GetontheWater/findafacility
 
Already hooked on sailing?
Then it's probably time to join a local club, where you can enjoy the social side of the sport too, making friends and improving your skills on the water with other enthusiastic sailors.
There are hundreds of RYA-affiliated sailing and windsurfing clubs around the country, and whether you live in a city, on the coast or in the countryside, there will be one that's local to you. Find it at www.rya.org.uk/GetontheWater/findafacility
 
Share your knowledge and skills become an instructor or coach
Teaching sailing or windsurfing can be a rewarding and challenging career or hobby.
The RYA instructor training schemes are progressive - you can develop your skills and qualifications at your own pace by taking endorsement courses, working towards Senior Instructor level and, in the case of sailing, ultimately becoming a Coach/Assessor.

Try volunteering!
A great way of getting involved with sailing and windsurfing is to volunteer at your local club. Volunteering can:
·        Allow you to learn more about the sports
·        Enable you to help others
·        Share your skills
·        Make new friends
·        Take a new direction in life
 
Contact your Regional Development Officer for more information.
 
The RYA is the UK's national association for all forms of recreational and competitive boating, representing sailing, motorcruising, sportsboats, windsurfing, inland boating, powerboat racing and personal watercraft. It coordinates competition and/or development.
