Recognized Training Centre
The Club runs various formal RYA dinghy & powerboat courses and issues RYA certificates which are recognized throughout the world and additionally provides instructor or coach led opportunities to develop skills. We take dinghy sailors from 8 years old onwards and can offer total beginner to advanced dinghy modules. In addition to the formal courses, Dolphins provides Stage 1 juniors with regular evening opportunities to gain more time on the water while Race Coaching provides opportunities for the more advanced juniors and adults to improve their sailing skills.
Anyone interested in formal dinghy courses or to book a place on one of the training courses should contact our Training Principal.
Our Chief Race Coach is interested in hearing from anyone who would like some Race Coaching sessions.
The Club actively promotes powerboat courses (Level 2 and Safety Boat) for members keen to help with safety on the water and prices this training at the ‘break even’ rate. We also offer continuation or refresher powerboat training – please let training@chanonry.org.uk know if you wish to attend any of these courses or training sessions.
The Club’s ethos is to offer training to members – including of course new members - at a fraction of the price charged commercially without compromising on quality. The programme will be available on this page as soon as it is agreed.
