RYA Sailing School

What type of training do we offer at Hamble Point Sailing School?

We offer RYA practical sailing courses, theory courses, and other sailing tuition, sailing on one of the comfortable boats from our fleet.  Please have a look at our Sailing school website for more details and to see our course dates.

We specialise in crafting our training to your needs and offer two distinctly different routes:

Scheduled Practical Sailing Courses:

  • Join one of our scheduled courses with a maximum of five participants run over five days, ensuring space, comfort, time to practice and full attention from the instructor.

Our superb instructors can provide instruction for different RYA qualifications within the same group:

  • Maximum of four participants
  • Courses run over five days, ensuring space, comfort, time to practice and full attention from the instructor
  • Instruction for different RYA qualifications possible within the same group.

Private Sailing Tuition:

  • Let us tailor-make your tuition for you. If you have any knowledge gaps, would prefer to carry out your RYA training in a less public environment or would like to train with your own group of friends and family at a time of your choosing, we can address your needs directly with specialised personal coaching.  For example, instead of, or in addition to, a standard course you may wish to concentrate on one or more of the following areas:
    – Boat Handling
    – Pilotage
    – Meteorology
    – Mile Building
    – Flotilla Training
    – Sails and Rig
    – Electronic Navigation
    – Sailing short/single handed
  • We will discuss your objectives with you to ensure that the content and timing of the course fit your requirements. You will book the yacht of your choice from our fleet at the time that you desire and our instructor will join you on board with any other persons with whom you have chosen to sail. The tuition will typically be run for small groups of friends or family who wish to learn together – own boat tuition without the need to own a boat!
