Private lessons & coaching

Private lessons

Looking to boost your skills and confidence on the water? We can offer private lessons suitable for individuals, small groups, families or just for the kids. Beginners, improvers, racers and rusty sailors all welcome. Choose one of our club boats or bring your own. We will match up your needs with one of our dinghy instructors and tailor the session to suit what you are looking to achieve.

Tailored coaching/teaching

Typically we offer a 5-6 hour session which includes some ashore preparation such as land drills or theory and then a 3-4 hour on the water session where you can put it into practice, bearing in mind we will be working around tide times and weather conditions.

You will need your own sailing kit (wetsuit, buoyancy aid, suitable footwear etc). The training can be delivered in your own boat, or one of the BSSC boats (2000, Argo, Feva or Topper).

Please note that these lessons are not designed or delivered to enable participants to complete an RYA certificated course.

5 hour 'on and off' water sessions

£80 per session which can be split between a maximum of 6 sailors per instructor.
