Our courses are run entirely by volunteers.

The training courses are to improve members’ skills and knowledge. RYA certificates for levels I, II and III (Racing) may be received by participants who achieve the relevant standards.

Dinghy's used by WSC include Fevas, Picos, Toppers, Laser and Enterprise but participants are also encouraged to use their own boats (at their own risk).

WSC cannot reserve places until payment is received. Applications will not be processed before 1 May 2012.
