RYA courses and Yacht tuition

Poole Sailing Ltd offer personalised instruction at all levels, including first time sailors by RYA qualified instructors.

As an RYA Recognised Training Centre we can offer the full range of practical RYA Sailing Courses from a Taster through to Yachtmaster Coastal , Cruising Instructor and Yachtmaster preparation. We can also provide the use of the boats for Yachtmaster and International  Certificate of Competence Examinations.

Rob Gibson is a Yachtmaster Instructor and RYA examiner. Rob is the chief instructor and has many years of experience running his own sailing school.

Our participation in a number of regattas on the South Coast, the Channel Islands and Ireland enable us to offer mile building and qualifying passages for Yachtmaster and Yachtmaster Coastal qualifications.

We can also offer specialised instruction to assist in marina manoeuvring and other boat handling operations. These are often popular with the partners of sailors who may rarely get the opportunity to take the helm and who want to establish competence in safety procedures particularly 'man overboard' drills.
