A short introduction to sailing for complete beginners. Where you will also experience your first night on board.
Note: the 2-day RYA Start Yachting course can be afterwards included in the RYA Competent Crew course, leaving you with 3 days to complete.
We run our Start Yachting courses over two days, over a weekend , you will meet your yacht and your instructor on Saturday at 0930 in Przystań Cesarska, Gdańsk for a full day sailing around the Gulf of Gdańsk then we will aim to moor up in Sopot or Górki Zachodnie to sample some local food and enjoy one of the beautiful evenings on the water.
The second day of out course we will have another full day learning and practising to be back at the pick up/ drop off point by 1700. Before you set sail, your instructor will guide you through the safety procedures to make you comfortable aboard and familiar with equipment and hazards.
We can assure you that by the end of the two-day course, you will not only understand how a sailing yacht works, but also try steering the boat, handle rope work, sail a basic course, be aware of safety on board and a little of navigation. You may find you are a natural sailor and ready for the next step or maybe go and a buy a boat! Holders of the RYA Start Yachting certificate can go on to complete the RYA Competent Crew course in a reduce time of three days. The emphasis is on fun and enjoyment.
