At the end of the course the successful sailor will be safety conscious, have a basic knowledge of sailing and be capable of sailing without an instructor in light winds 

The school uses Topper Sport 14s for its dinghy training and these stable roomy boats have proved to very popular with newcomers to sailing. Students may choose after a few weeks to sail single handed in Laser Picos. 

The syllabus will include helming (steering) and crewing a dinghy on all points of sailing, rigging, launching and recovery, approaching jetties up and down wind, recovering a person from the water and capsizing.
