• The club runs many courses in various aspects of water sports activities as a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised Training Centre. The courses are staffed and managed by Club members ( who are qualified to the same standard as instructors at commercial centres ), and as a result you will be assured of a warm welcome if you decide to join the club after your course.

• Activities focus around Piddinghoe Pond inland water for dinghy sailing and windsurfing and from Newhaven Marina into Seaford Bay for power boating and keelboats. Classroom based courses such as RYA First Aid and VHF Radio are run at the Club's Seaford Beach Club House.

• We use Topper Sport 14s for 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.

• Power boat training takes place in the club's safety fleet of  outboard powered RIBs and our 24ft diesel engined displacement boat 'Ark' providing experience in handling both of these very different type of craft.

• Keelboat sail training can take place in a variety of members' boats.

• Regular Club Youth training ( the under 18's) is carried out on Monday' for beginners with race training on Saturday mornings during the spring and summer.
